User's notes
The sequence of images shows a 5mm Bird-dropping Spider in ANBG's Rainforest Gully having just caught prey, which was putting up a determined fight. Not sure what the prey was but it kept flicking about from side to side and breaking free of the spider, only to be reeled back in by the attached silk, as seen in the final image.
