Thanks for the compliments! I came back to check on the spider later in the day, and the cicada carcass was all that was left. The head and eyes were gone. I guess the spider sucked it clean like it was a Cajun crawfish!!!

Both yourself and the spider are to be congratulated on excellent captures. :)
My condolences to the relatives of the Cicada. :|
