Lurking in the treetops, this forest predator waits patiently for it's prey to stir the fine webbing on the forest floor. Once alerted, the spider waits for the opportune moment to fasten a long strand of webbing on a conveniently placed branch and fall silently downward, landing directly on it's prey. Now ensues what is often enough just an unfair fight. Eight strong legs grapple the victim, as the spider's mandibles inject it's dreadfully painful venom again and again, until it's prey is nothing else but future food. Take care and stay alert, or you might share this fate. Instinct: To feed on unsuspecting prey

• Drop from above
