My House Spider Got a Yummy Lunch…Or Maybe Not
Thank god, I was there to click before the ravaging happened
I was just strolling around the balcony area when I came across the above picture. I had to put my life at risk and zoom in to get a nice shot.
I couldn’t believe my eyes that a spider so small had caught hold of a moth that was almost double its own size.
But that didn’t deter the house spider at all.
I have been watching that spider chasing the moths all day and it finally caught hold of one…yay…someone will have a jumbo-sized lunch today.
It is scenes like these that take me to the circle of life and death.
The numerous animal hunting documentary I had seen as a child on National Geographic and Animal Planet. It seems they all come alive on my window pane.
P.S. Just while I was writing about the spider’s heroic kill, it dropped the moth off its mouth, or maybe it just got tired of holding it for around two hours.
And now I cannot see the spider anywhere and I have a dead body in my house.
I hope they don’t have their MBI (Moth’s Bureau of Investigation) or else I will be one of the suspects as well.
