The webspinner was on an inside window frame at night and was trapped but still struggling when first seen. The spider was running round and round it, occasionally stopping and changing direction. The last photo shows the final result of the wrapping next day after the spider had finished with it. The spider is shown in accompanying sighting 4359755.
