Tony Hatfield's Retired Ramblings

Save this for later

Wincey This creature, I think it's a garden spider, areneus diadematus, had taken up rent free accomodation at the top left hand side of our patio doors. Yesterday he/she trapped a housefly in his/her web and then proceeded, with some care, to wrap the thing up with silk from the spinnerets . Presumably the spider equivalent of sticking it in the freezer.
