Watched this black widow target a grasshopper - a large prey for her. She'd web it using her back legs until it was somewhat restrained, then she bit it on the head. In this photo, she's checking out the level of venom effect. It was very interesting to watch.

I didn't have a macro lens with me but was able to get a clear shot of the black widow.

Done son. One of those attacked my brother's hand when he reached for his shoe the other day. It didn't get close enough to bite him, though.

Thanks - the lens was very close to the spider, but apparently the flash did not bother her.

Looks like the grasshopper purged it's stomach during death throes

She's now using her back legs to test whether he still has some movement.

Now, she's starting to eat it. The red hourglass really shows up.

That hourglass would be incandescent with the level of fire and prejudice I'd visit upon it.

I'm weird because a Chinese hobo has a yellow piss streak running down his window, and didn't even crop it out of the picture he took of a bug?
