Life and death in the garden (um..contains ikkies)

I totally have the heebie jeebies now. And I don't even have a particularly terrible fear of spiders, either.

Man, that's a lot to eat by himself!

Oh BTW, the gecko is probably still alive the time you took the pic. Spiders inject just enough to keep them alive, so they last longer... something learnt from animal planet.

Ah my friends. And now the interesting truth. The spider is no more than 2 cm in the body - 4 or 5 counting legs. The lizard was just a garden lizard - about 8 cm long.

I just about had to drop my lens right on them to get the shot. LOL.

The joys of macro.
