User's notes
I was amazed to see this two-tailed spider at work. It caught a small ant, then with the silk from its abdomen it wrapped its prey by spinning in circles around the trunk. When wrapped securly it picked it up and carried it downt he trunk to its regular spot. I've noticed that these spiders seem to lay in wait in the same spot.
