This comb-footed spider was captured feeding on a seven spot ladybird. It had made it’s web between blades of grass and this unsuspecting ladybird got caught in its deadly trap. The spiders bite their prey and inject venom, which immobilizes the prey and starts the process of digestion. The injected venom liquefies it’s prey in order that their stomachs, known as sucking stomachs, can draw in the meal. The Comb-Footed Spiders belong to one of the most diverse (omnifarious) spider families of Europe and the spiders often have a typical spherical body. They are small to medium sized, and often have a shiny appearance. They build irregular webs, which can be roughly divided into two types: a coarse web of interconnecting threads, which run all over the place and a web which has a tightly woven mat in the centre.
