Horrible Incounter
This morning, I went up TB Hill to look for bugs and shoot them. So lucky man, right infront of me a small spider web with the little critter meditating quietly, maybe sleeping too. I set up my gear and took all the time I need as that fella was just inviting me to shoot.
No such luck man, the wind came and swayed the web and I could not focus at all. Friendly neighbour came along to kaypo, wanted to hold my rod to steady the focus - no help at all the critter was swaying peacefully with the breeze. All of a sudden she woke up and was all excited, she wriggled sexually and my friend told me there was another critter in the web. It looked like the male of the species and maybe want to have sex with female partner. I thought maybe they wanted a family photo. I waited thinking if they have sex, they need to warm up. No man, all hell broke loose I could'nt get my gear in focus, the web was vibrating violently as though struck by earthquake, Kennynair, the sex act was so fast I could'nt get a shot in at all.
I thought the calm will now come after the storm. No way man, within the next ten seconds, the female wrapped the male up in a jiffy and imprisoned him to be left to die and be consumed later. Wow, I realised that I had witnessed the visciousness and the aggresiveness of the female spider. Have sex then dinner later, courtesy of the male. What a price to pay. Good lesson to learn from this horrible incounter. Don't play play with the female of the species, they go for the jugular.
