Near the gate to the TSR. I did not realise it had grabbed a prey item, and was hanging from that (until I looked at my pics).

It looks like the cicada has become the prey of a much smaller spider.

Oh wow, it must have got caught in a web. I didn't even notice, just saw it fly in, and I thought land on a branch/twig. I just walked around to take a quick pic, and didn't even notice the spider. I don't think it struggled or flapped.
