Edwin, yes, it was amazing to watch. The bug was many times larger than the tiny spider. The spider would dart toward the struggling bug to wrap a strand of web around some part of it, then retreat well out of reach, wait, then dart in, again. It wasn't long before the spider had lassoed two legs in the series of photos I took.

Thanks for starting the thread, Sally! I don't know if I could face the week without MiN as the starting point.

Low tide, low-gradient beach, odd tracks in the wet sand, and I finally track down the perpetrator. Or it tracks down itself.

Years ago, I always thought that the images on Chinese paintings were mystical lots. That the "castles (houses, jagged cliffs and trees) in the air" were just that - artist dreams and imagination. My visits to China's Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and Guilin had changed all that. Mountains, houses, trees were indeed hanging in the air, so "evident" especially in early morn.

Again it is Sunday already (and probably Monday in New Zealand, etc.). While it maybe nice to know in advance who will start the next Monday in Nature thread, I think it can work quite well that whoever gets to it first will start it next. Please just specify that it is for Monday, 24th of April, 2017.
