User's notes
The spider was seen racing down a tree when it came to an abrupt stop. It had come across the silk dragline of another spider and had stopped with its front legs over and under the dragline (second to fourth images). The spider pushed the dragline out of the way with one of its legs (first and last images), reared up and sped off down the tree.
