As I got out my camera to try to take a photo of this moth fluttering near a tree trunk, a black spider darted out of the hole in the trunk, disappeared again in a flash and instantly the moth stopped fluttering. I then noticed the web that the moth had obviously been caught in. Real life drama on The Pinnacle :-)
