If you look at a spiders web, you would usually expect to find a spider in it, maybe dissecting another insect, or just waiting for some pray. A few days ago I found this in reverse, a large European hornet flew into this web, and actually ate the large 2 inch spider.

I swear its the strangest thing I have seen, he bit the body completely in two pieces, and then digested it . He did have a little trouble getting out of the web, though. He had to bite the strands to work his way out.

Anyhow, it was very interesting to watch, and I wish I would have had my camera handy to take a few macros, but alas I had left it at home.
