I just witnessed the coolest thing in nature ever.
Ok so im sitting outside on my friends deck smoking a joint, and i see this massive spider on this wooden railing just chillin. Im feeling really good so i blow a hit very slowly at the spider (dunno if it would do anything but it seemed like a good idea at the time :thumbsup: ).
I proceed to watch the spider just chill there for a minute and i look about a foot over and i see a fly on the edge of the rail. The fly walks around a bit and then flies right for the spider, im kinda watching this all in slow motion and as the fly is flying low he goes right above the spider and the spider just reaches up and grabs the fly right out of the air.
My jaw dropped and my eyes were wide as golf balls. i could not believe i just saw a spider take down a fly in mid air. It was the coolest thing ive ever seen, i really wish i could have filmed it or something.
So this spider sits there for the longest time, fly in its jaws (im assuming) and is slowly taking its life away. I can see the flies little legs squirming and its wings twitching every so often. I watched it for about 10 minutes before i got bored. I came back out about an hour later and found nothing on the railing. must have taken it back to its lair and turned its insides into mush or something. this was by far cooler than seeing a cheetah or tiger take down a gazelle.
it was probably because of the hit i blew into its face, made it into some super spider or something. :rasta:
just had to share it,
peace

I had a cool spider-related experience in the desert in New Mexico once. I was on guard duty (Army), in the middle of the desert, just me, nobody else within a quarter mile. I heard, like, a deep bzzzzz and I looked around and saw this big ass wasp buzzing over the dunes nearby. I stood up to get a better look, just in time to see the wasp attack a tarantula scuttling across the desert. There was a lot of insect and arachnid limb-flailing, and at the end of it, the spider was paralyzed, with the wasp on top of it. I'm pretty sure the wasp laid some eggs in the spider then flew off, to leave its eggs to hatch inside the paralyzed spider and eat it from the inside. Pretty cool, those wasps!
