    Want you come into my parlor, said the spider to the...gecko?

    I've been watching this spider for a couple of weeks; she lives up in the eves of our house, about 10 feet up. Today I noticed she had captured a gecko. This was shot with a 400mm lens, no time to set up a ladder and get close, so a rather tight crop. Note the baby spider (about left center of shot) feasting on mama's kill. C & C always.

    Very cool. Surprised the spider caught something as large as a gecko.

    Thanks all for your comments. It was a small gecko, fairly young, about 3 inches long.

    the spider looks a lot like one of ours that can grow up to 9 inches leg tip to leg tip. I have seen a full grown one spin a web strong enough to trap a Swift / Swallow.
