Caught this Spider wrapping up a Japanese Beetle in a bit of styrofoam. Somehow I don't think we was concerned about his swimming safety.

Very little PP. Should have done more. Anyways...

I was kind of interesting to watch. The spider was running in circles at amazing speed.

I just looked at my EXIF....lol I had the camera at ISO 1600 in broad daylight. Gee I wonder why it's so grainy even after NN. Duhhh

Excellent capture- assume that is styrofoam and not an egg-sac ?

all sorts of c*** must get caught in those sticky threads. As lordV says though it might be an egg sac although I would have thought the spider would be carrying it.

Yes I thought it was styrofoam but I'm not familier with insect behaviour. I guess it would in make sense for a spider to attach the sac to a bug for their youngs first meal but I have no idea if they do this. ? ? ? Anyone?

Thanks for commenting LordV... honored.
