Spider Attack Video

[torc]

Classic spider versus ant action with a completely unexpected finish.
Judging by the cameraman's name and the sound of the adhān in the back round I'm guessing this was filmed in Turkey.
Enjoy.

Hey, that was brilliant.

Hehe, very nice. I wonder if the spider came back to pick up the ant also. Looks like one of those jumpy spiders.

great video, i liked the way the spider confused the ant via circling it, the end made me jump slightly

think the spider was wrapping it's web round and round the ant's legs.

That was amazing speed and hunting technique, imagine a human doing 3 laps of an antelope whilst spinning thread strong enough to tie it's legs. Clearly it's 8 eyes were all focused on lunch.
