Spider and the grasshopper

[Mowgli]

Spotted this grasshopper trapped in a web


Spider playing the waiting game


It was a persistent grasshopper and tried its best to get free


Stalemate the spider walks away presumably decided it was a bit big to tackle



Sorry I don`t know if it escaped or not

Re: Spider and the grasshopper

It would be a surprise if it did escape. A bit like a human being caught up in a trawler net.
Most likely taken up by a passing bird if it was visible from above.

Aah poor 'Hopsie' is doomed. Great series of pics though.

A grasshopper found it's way into our bedroom a few days ago. Dunno how it managed that as the bedroom is upstairs! And no, I didn't take any pics - I just yelled for David to come and get it and put it outside.

Re: Spider and the grasshopper

Sadly the doom and gloom continues, I went out into the garden this afternoon looking for beasties to photograph and came upon a minute little thing


After a couple of pics it took off straight into a spiders web. The outcome was inevitable



I felt so guilty not sure if it was avoiding the camera or not or whether it would have happened anyway.
That`s nature I suppose.
Thanks Pops, Pol and Ian for commenting

Great images - a bit of a horror story for me as I'm not keen on spider beasties...
