[Leica] IMG: Garden Spider

[Christopher Crawford]

My cat does the same thing. He murders any large insects or spiders he sees, and usually eats them. One time last summer, I saw a big green katydid on the front of my garage one night. Sneaky (yes, that's my cat's name) was out with me and I said "I'm going to get my camera and take a picture of that." The little bastard jumped up and knocked it to the ground and ate it right in front of me! He killed a cicada and left it uneaten on my doorstep a few days ago.

I like spiders, and have rescued a few in my house that I saw Sneaky eyeballing.

    Very nice to see.  Large spiders don't survive long around here.  Grackles
    come through harvesting most anything deemed tasty.
