While i was trying to photograph it, it got disturbed and flew by and landed few feet away and got prey to a lizard. I fell sad.

@ Steffi : I myself saw an incident, of a spider trying to eat another. but luckily this time, during the photo shoot, the small spider which was tangled in the web got freed and was saved ........... :-)

Thanks Ashish, for that funny moment ;-)
Steffi
poor guy! Same thing happened to me with a pair of spiders - I scared one, and as it ran away another spider ate it.
