I thought that today, instead of ranting, I would post some photos of some of the most efficient hunters on the planet. Spiders! Honed through millions of years of selection, the spider is a formidable predator, helping to keep in check the hordes of insects that pester and cause us harm. Here are a couple of orb weavers (Family: Araneidae) munching on some fruit flies (likely Drosophila melanogaster ) that inhabit our composter.
Enjoy these fine ladies. I only wish that I had an SLR with a decent Macro lens…
