Puya Chilensis is an evergreen perennial drought and sun tolerant bromeliad originating from the arid hillsides of the Andes Chile. The plant is colloquially known as the “Sheep-eating plant” for its bizarre method of eating. Sheep and other animals get caught on its sharp spines and then starve to death. When the animal decays, the plant absorbs the animal's nutrients like a fertilizer.

Tiny spider about 2mm diameter sitting in the centre of its orb-web waiting for prey. When it sets itself up to catch prey, it stretches its 4 front legs forward on the web strands. Then it pulls back slightly, to tension the web, in order to feel vibrations as a potential meal catches in the sticky strands.
