Within no time, the spider had snared the wasp, wrapped it up and even dragged it off to a hidden spot to wait for more meals. I captured only a few shots, because of a few reasons:
- Camera batteries were charging.
- Auto-focus could not understand why I was focusing on something so tiny, and if I wanted to get a shot of something so small, why didn't I get closer? Stupid auto-focus does not understand mortal peril!
- Every pine needle which scraped my foot caused me to squeal
- This event happened astonishingly fast. I have even more respect for "spider reflexes."

This is the coolest thing you've ever posted. Ever.
They should make a movie about this, only the spider and wasp are fifty stories tall. And they both eat members of the Bush administration before the final battle.
I agree that is a really cool posting.
Great job in capturing it.
Thanks guys. According to http://www.whatsthatbug.com/ it is an Araneus Orb Weaver, but they could not tell exact species.
