Spider + victim

This photo is behind a cut because arachnids are not everyone’s favourite and this one is having a meal.



We found this spider indoors, feasting on its unidentified victim. The children were fascinated and watched it for a good 20 minutes, until it abandoned the dried husk and scampered off to the shadows.

Thank you. I wondered that, but the body was definitely segmented. I think it might have been a cellar spider - they also have very long legs.

Interesting! And fascinating, at least for as long as it held the attention of the observers.
