Wasp Spider; Argiope bruennichi
Wasp Spider in its web with a freshly caught poisoned and paralyzed grasshopper. It all happens during making this picture. I couldn´t capture it because it happend in a split second.
I assume the spider wait for the internal digestion because Spiders paralyze and kill their prey with poison and digestive juices. This means that the prey is digested internally and the spider sucks up the almost liquid mush.
