Ogre spinning circles

Arachtober 24

 

An ogre spider (also known as net-caster)... spinning her trap of silk between her two front legs.

 

These spiders are opportunist hunters and once the net has been spun, she will patiently wait for unsuspecting prey to pass by when, with lightning speed, she will hurl the net over the prey to immobilize it.

 

Female 10 mm body length
