A spider diptych

Two spiders for the price of one today.

On the left the spider is busy placing a long thread of silk as the basis for a new web. If you look closely you can see the thread being exuded through the silk spinnerets on its abdomen.

The spider on the right has made its kill and has carefully packaged it in silk, ready for dinner later on.

A really cheap wildlife safari involving no long haul flights!
