Snake-Eating Spiders Edit
Australia’s Redback Arachnid

This hapless snake became an Australian redback spider’s lunch last Monday, much to the chagrin of the receptionist who discovered the deadly spider and its prey in their office.

At 14 centimeters in length, the snake is significantly larger than the redback spider, but the deadly arachnid made the kill anyway. The receptionist thinks the snake got caught in the spider’s web Monday night. After receiving its deadly dose of spider poison, the snake was rolled up into a web of its own on Wednesday. 

It’s moments like these where I feel my arachnophobia is completely vindicated.
