User's notes

Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting of the spider with its prey, a winged ant. The third to fifth images show a moth hiding in plain sight adjacent to the spider. At one time the spider dragged the ant over part of the moth's wing with no reaction. The moth is shown in following sighting 4504893.
