"The Ultimate Hunter"



Over the summer, I had a chance to watch "The Ultimate Hunter". (Click to view video) Argiope aurantia is its formal name. I like to call them Writing Spiders. This one found a home outside of my sister's house. I had never witnessed this ferocious hunter in action until this summer, and I was truly amazed. Check it out. Watch how he methodically gets in position, wraps his prey with silk, and then sinks his fangs for a dose of venom. Definitely "The Ultimate Hunter".
