Tiny spider eating Australian Brown Snake

Daddy-long-legs spider wins David and Goliath battle with deadly brown snake

And apparently it's become a community feast.
Mr Lees has left it in the web, where a group of spiders has begun spinning a web over the snake's face and tail.

Jonathon,
During my study of the Common Sharp-tailed Snake in Oregon, under a rock in a landscaped front yard at a residence in Central Point, Oregon, I found a black widow spider that had snared and partly eaten a juvenile S. Alligator Lizard.
