Microcosmic Battlefield View 1

I discovered this tiny little spider with its tiny little prey and started taking photos so close I was almost touching the web. The spider ignored me. Sometimes there are life and death battlefields going on in a microcosmic world that we never know about, unless we look for it. I simply noticed a bit of movement as a messy tangle of cobwebs vibrated. Glad I looked closer, very cool.
