DEADLY INTRAWEB WARS IN ORGANIC LAND
For its increasing tendency to bully me, I gently exiled a young huntsman spider from my kitchen last night. Half an hour later, I found it attacking my pet orb spider, which is a true gourmandiser, and spins a huge web from my back door to the tank.
It was tricky catching focus as the web moved in the breeze, but that stupid huntsman really seemed to think it could slay and devour the orb. I watched for about ten minutes, went back in to stir my broth, and came back to find the aggressor thoroughly bound.
Within a few minutes, the tightened parcel was little more than a ball of silk oozing a sort of black caviar froth, all the easier guzzled, I imagine, after the orb's deadly mushing enzymes had turned its dinner's gizzards to drink. Spider champagne. This is typical of the sort of violence you'll find in the neighbourhood once you've turned the industrial petrochem regime off in favour of a bug-friendly organic ecology. Sure saves the Mortein.
