Little things always getcha

This farside is one of my favorites. I just love it.

It also just so happens to illustrate perfectly what I've been staring at for the past ten minutes or so. It seems that a very tiny little spider, no more than 2-3 mm in length, has managed to catch a rather large flying, mosquitoy insect in its web (and I say mosquitoy, because its absolutely enormous). This little spider's feast is easily 10-20 larger. The little guy managed to tangle the mosquito's two legs in its web, and is now running down the web, spinning a few loops around the legs of its prey, and running back up as the doomed bug trashes about. What started off as just 2 legs pinned about a centimeter in length, is now all of its legs wrapped tightly with only about a centimeter left to them. It won't be too much longer until its completely encased.

I should name this little guy and give him some sort medal. Quite an accomplishment. Of course, he's probably done this a hundred times and thinks nothing of it.
