I've found the victim. OK, it's a fly. But nature can be so cruel. And effective.
It was really a David and Goliath matter. And our spider did take the matter into its paws. No, they are called legs. A spider is an eight-legged creature. Check. But it does things with its legs we, humans, do with our hands. Namely, tie.
Nature journaling is a trial by fire (or spiderweb?). Cringe! My account reads like the stupid person's dictionary.
Frankly, nature is cruelly clever. Or cleverly cruel. Look, the fly is tied up as a game after a hunt. I took these pics in the morning, our fly is still very much alive in the afternoon. I do need to check upon it in the evening or tomorrow.
These photos are mine. I seem to be a rookie at editing.
I am a little surprised that the spider didn't kill the fly yet. Is he saving it for later?
Me too. Yes. It's still hanging there dead. How is it preserved?
