Net-casting spider hunt filmed in wild
"As ambush hunters, the spiders are known to use a combination of touch and well-developed sight to sense prey. The video reveals the rarely-seen, split-second technique of the species as it snatches an unsuspecting cricket in a Central American forest."

Pretty exciting capture!
I saw a wasp, diving in on a spiders web to snatch the prey already entangled ....not one, but multiple times! Is that normal behavior? I've never witnessed that kind of thievery before!

It's funny how something like that can stimulate one into jumping for the shear joy of it!
