Butterfly and Spider (after Warhol)

By Words | Published September 25, 2010

I took this sequence of shots on Tuesday but haven't had time to do much with them until now. The spider had just trapped a meadow brown and was working to wrap it. These are 6 shots from a longer sequence (read left to right, row 1 then row 2). If you click on the image a large size version will open!

This is another shot, slightly later in the sequence.

    Cynthia, thanks! These moments are very brief, but fascinating to see.

    Erwin, thanks! I felt a bit sorry for the butterfly, but it was too late to rescue it.

    Your spiders certainly don't go hungry.

    Adele, they do seem to do rather well, and if there's nothing else around they just eat each other :bug:
