Spider with Prey

Argyrodes sp.

Notes:

A Kleptoparasite by nature ...this Theridid is seen wrapping up an Orb Weaver (Neoscona sp.)...equal to or slightly bigger than its size ....making it unlikely that it is the host. A phenomenon not very commonly seen ... it raises many questions ... as to the behavior of these Spiders
