There has been a funnel web spider dwelling in the bushes of my front yard for some time. I've occasionally fed it small bugs, just to see how vicious this spider can be. Today, I kicked it up a notch and I offered it a new type of meal -- a daddy long-leg spider.
Expecting some kind of crazy spider battle, I was sorely let down. The funnel web spider appeared to slam against Daddy 'Long-Legs' Jackson a few times, and then backed away, standing on it's hind legs. The entire time, Jackson was frozen, and the funnel web ninja spider backed off...
Why has this occurred? Why didn't Jackson become some funnel feast? The funnel spider showed some mercy today, and I'm not sure why.
