Spiders and Flies

Today, in the spider sanctuary that is my bathroom, I watched as a very small spider wrapped up a fly that was about 4 times bigger than herself. It was not only awe- inspiring to watch how she quickly and with great precision wound her fine silk around him as he tried desperately to escape the web. But it was also terribly sad. I felt so bad for the fly as he buzzed his wings trying so hard to get away. But I also know that it is Mother Nature taking care of her own and we are not to interfere. But it was a most poignant moment.
