Catching by Spider

A golden orb weaver spider managed to ensare a chestnut breasted mannikin finch in its web in a garden near Atherton, Australia. The giant spider would have then proceeded to inject the struggling bird with venom to prepare it for eating, and wrap the corpse into a food parcel, as it would be too much for the spider to eat in one sitting.


golden orb weaver spider can grow larger than a human hand and usually prey on large insects, so it is highly unusual to see one catching a bird.
