"Trapped Alive!!" Photo by Judy Royal Glenn
Click on the photo for a closer view.
After my bout with the hummingbirds sticking out their tongues and the photo shoot with the praying mantis, I walked up on a spider on its web. I really don't like spiders, but he looked like a good candidate for my next photo shoot.
As I was taking pictures, suddenly he disappeared out of my view. I peeked around my camera to notice a ladybug landed in his web. My first instinct was to help the ladybug get out, but I was too late!
Within a split second, the spider opened up its abdomen and spewed his silk on the ladybug.
The spider spun the ladybug round and round like a hotdog!
I kept taking pictures and could not believe what I was actually watching through my lense!
He continued spinning the ladybug around with his legs while adding layer after layer of silk.
I could not help the ladybug, but it ended well for another small bug I was able to free from the web!! I thought I would end with this photo and not of the ladybug being eaten! WOW...what a moment I was able to capture!! Jesus answered prayer once again and pulled out all the stops today!
