User's notes
Early morning, I watched this spider pack up its web, not forgetting to collect its night capture on the way; cutting one strand then 'reeling in' its prey before moving on to the next strand. It then retreated to its daytime rest, where it consumed its meal (I checked several times throughout the day).
