RE: THREE OLD SHOTS WITH THREE FROGHOPPERS AND THE LYNX SPIDER

in Fascinating Insects3 years ago

what i like about you. you can save your photos that are so good quality from 2009 to 2022, the spider has caught its prey, the frog, isn't the prey bigger than the spider? does this spider just kill its prey and then throw it away?

Sort:  

Yes, the preys are often bigger than spiders. Often much bigger than in this case. Spiders use venom to subdue them. The prey will be eaten, of course, this hunt is about getting the food.

Truly a reliable prey-killing spider and a poison so dangerous that the mango is easily conquered
