It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane. . . . No, It’s A Spider?

Posted by Lisa on October 25, 2008 @ 12:19 am

Okay, this picture seriously freaks me out.  Yes, this is real.   This picture was taken in Atherton, Queensland (not some Outer Banks rentals place).  I am so glad I will never see one of these by me.  I hate spiders.

I guess that this is a Golden Orb Weaver.  The Golden Orb Weaver spins a strong web high in protein because it depends on it to capture large insects for food.  However, they normally don’t catch birds.

I have to thank Kat for showing me this the other night.  Did I say that I hate spiders?

    Poor bird! beaten by a spider. It is really freaky. It look so weird that I thought that the bird was carrying a spider or it was just a new kind of bird with a liking of a spider crown. Like new species of flying animals. :lol:

    whoa! that was a huge spider! I think I would totally freak out if ever I see one like that. I think that’s really a strong spider because he captured a bird! I remember when I was in a hotel, there was a small spider in my room, I really called the attendant to kill the spider because I’m so paranoid that it might crawl on me when I sleep.
