The follow up to my earlier 17s post today.
The spider is such a very very efficient hunter.
Or maybe it is her minute male mate . . .
regardless, everyday I see as many as three bees and some other insects wrapped up in web. Next time I visit, they are gone!

Oh, it seems in Australia are very powerful spiders. I always thought they would fear the bees, and he web would not be able to resist the power of the bees. xx Michael

The spiders are very good trappers. This particular spider is about 3 times as large as the bee.
Many of the native bees are stingless, also, Michael, so they don’t get to offer much resistance.
