I love spiders. These eight-legged creatures are truly awesome hunters, they catch moth, butterfly, bug, and some catch fish, and larger ones(the tarantulas) can even hunt mice and birds.
There are several spider webs in my front yard, and the inhabitants are quite huge really. The largest one is over 4~5 centimeters in diameter with its legs spread out.

| The larger spider feasting on a weaved moth on the left side of the web is a female spider. There is another spider, a dark, smaller one on the other side of the web-its a male spider. Male spiders are tiny compared to their female counterparts in part because it makes it easier for them to get around and spread their genes. |
