Spider Eats Bird

“This amazing image of a mammoth spider devouring a bird was taken in the backyard of a property near Cairns. The image, which is being cirulated via email worldwide, is real, according to wildlife experts, The Cairns Post reported.  The photo, believed to have been taken earlier this week, shows the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web at a property near Atherton, west of Cairns.”

This brutual killing of an animal, in this case a bird, by a smaller attacker is know in arachnophobic circles as the Sharon Stone.
