Orb Weaver Spider & Dragonfly
Jul 24, 2012 20:04:42 #
Within my garden, I have been monitoring a female Western Spotted Orb Weaver spider with a large orb web. This afternoon, to my surprise, I found that she had snagged a dragonfly earlier in the day, and had divided the body into two parts. I have never seen such behavior before. She was so completely occupied with draining the abdomen of all fluids, that I could approach within a few inches. Normally, she bolts if get closer than 6-feet away.
