  • Comb-footed Spider

This Spider had put out a line of thread to catch some ants. When two tripped up on the thread, the spider quickly circled around them, facing away from them and putting down line upon line of crisscross thread across the top of the ants. Once they were immobilised, the spider moved in and paralysed the ants before feasting on them.
