Spider Spinning Next Meal - a photo on Flickriver

            Proof that nature can be harsh and harshly beautiful at the exact same time. The hardest part of capturing this photo was knowing the fly was still alive while he was being rolled into breakfast for this spider. Life in the undergrowth continues to amaze.
