I still can't believe that midge landed on the web. The spider had the midge wrapped and cached before my flash could recycle.

Some creatures are just plain senseless, lol.
Haha! A similar thing just happened with one of my captive spiders. I was feeding a small Philodromus crab spider to a slightly larger Pardosa wolf spider... I turned the jar on its side, wolf on one end, crab on the other. All of a sudden, the crab spider ran straight forward really fast, right into the mouth of the wolf spider. It made me laugh, lol.

Hmm
Have you considered therapy? BTW I mean that in the nicest possible way :)

Lol
I think I'm just easily amused. Silly crab spider. My real-life therapist can't figure me out anyways, LOL!
