Arriving at work in her office, the secretary of the electricity company "Bloemfontein" (South Africa) was horrified to see in the corner of the office a 14-centimeter spider busily entwining a snake with a cobweb. The latter was ten times longer than a spider
Over the next two days, the spider braided and braided everything around its victim, raising it as high as possible above the floor, and after a long and leisurely meal it ate.
Spider expert Leon Lotz of the National Museum said the snake eater is a female brown speckled black widow spider, which is quite rare in South Africa and surprisingly not nearly as poisonous as the most famous of the genus.
According to Leon, before this incident, he had only once heard that such spiders can kill a snake. By the way, the photos were taken already in 2004, but only recently got into the press.
