    Big Grass Spider eating an Unlucky HouseFly

    If anyone can identify this spider, that'd be great. I found it in the garage of my sister's new house while painting the walls. Go here: nature.berkeley.edu I narrowed it down to the Grass Spiders and the female "Zoropsis spinimana." Please leave your thoughts in the comment box! Thanks! **NEWS** The spider died on July 19, 2009. Poor thing, it either: suffocated, dehydrated, had food poisoning, or a baby black widow's bite is potent enough to take down this biggie. If you noticed in the video, the baby black widow was crawling on the spider.

    Just a short vid talking about (what I think is a) grass spider, its in the Agelenopsis species. I know its environment is kinda small and shabby, but its making out very well in it. I usually feed it moths. IF you like spiders, than please subscribe! :-)

    I shot some clips at night around my house in Michigan to capture some of the night active spiders. Watch an orb weaver capture and wrap up it's catch. See a Grass spider, or funnel weaver up close and personal as it pounces on a cricket but fails to bag his prey.

    I got lucky and found a "Funnel Shaped" spider web in the yard at the place I work. My buddy Rob and I thought we might catch something cool if we recorded it for a while. Luckily, the spider was willing to perform for us.
