In the vast rice fields there are many kinds of living things that live there, they survive, some eat plants and some have to hunt other living things to survive.
And this also applies to this one living creature, Argiope aurantia is a spider that is often found in rice fields and is still a relative of the Araneidae, this spider lives by knitting a web and stretching it to ensnare its prey, the prey caught in the net will be eaten by the predator.
These spiders also live and build their nests not far from one another, it can be said that they build a village here, the more crowded and the more webs they stretch, the more potential they have to get their prey here, even the flying insects. very overwhelmed to avoid nets and it is not uncommon for them to survive in one net and get caught in another in avoiding these nets.
You can see as in the picture, how the victims are caught and the predators are very good at guarding their prey, these helpless victims will slowly become food for the next few days.
But life continues and the food chain continues to spin, these spiders are also not spared from attacks by other predators, and they have their own way of surviving.
Rice fields are the easiest place to find various insect activities and the like, green rice plants and the water cycle in the rice fields make this population survive here, preying and being preyed upon is the risk of wild life, this cycle will continue.
Wonderful photos! She's gorgeous and clearly very well fed over there. Thanks for sharing your spider!
thanks @anikekirsten .. they hunt to survive, but they live in groups and make a lot of nets so that their prey is easy to get.
