Suzy, Retta, Cliff and Tor came over for breakfast this morning. As they were leaving, they stopped to admire the spider and her gorgeous web. The web mistress was not at home, but one of her victims was nicely wrapped in the right hand corner of her web, just waiting for her. Can you tell what it is?
Clifford grabbed a branch of the bush under the web and gave it a tug and up jumped the spider! She sped right to the center and did a couple of push-ups (she is definitely part of the family). Right after Suzy and the gang left, we watched as the little lady went and got her scorpion, moved him to the center of the web, wrapped him a few more times in webbing (you know what it looks like when you take a piece of plastic wrap and pull it out and wrap something – it looked like that), and then she had a snack. The scorpion didn’t like it much, but he was not able to do anything with his stinger, it being all wrapped up. Makes me think of the song by the Fabulous Thunderbirds…
