ATTACK!

[Bend The Light]

I was shooting some macro in the garden, and found a spider. Took a few photos of him...then along came a woodlouse, and the spider jumped him! A fraction of a second later, he jumped off...the woodlouse is obviously too tough!

Literally a split second shot!

Wow. Fantastic capture. Must have been a neat thing to see it happen.

Yes, I saw them heading for each other, but then the spider jumped onto the woodlouse. Only had a fraction of a second...

Cheers.

Maybe not. I have just been given a link to a spider site (would that be a web site??) that shows a spider called a WOODLOUSE SPIDER. Apparently the only spider wiht big enough fangs to stop, and kill, a woodlouse!

Thanks.

Spiders generally work on the principle of suck it and see. Probably takes like crap
