All Wrapped Up
Hackled Orbweaver (family Uloboridae)
I finally managed to get an image of one of these 'right side up'. If you look closely you can see it is holding its prey, all wrapped up.
Some interesting information about these Spiders.
Uloboridae is a family of non-venomous spiders, known as cribellate orb weavers or hackled orb weavers. Their lack of venom glands is a secondarily evolved trait. Instead, they wrap their prey thoroughly in silk, cover it in regurgitated digestive enzymes, and then ingest the liquified body.
