Another bird-eating spider.

:shocked:

I mean, I knew it happened.. but, it's crazy to actually see it.

I wonder what it's web feels like? That must be some strong shit. Birds have very strong wing muscles, it doesn't seem like it would take much thrashing to destroy the web. :Q

Spider must have quick acting venom.

That's just a banana spider (golden orb spider). I'm really surprised it actually bit the bird, usually they run if something big hits their web. That and their venom isn't very potent.
