Dark Shadows

Made this morning in the dark recesses of a tomato plant, with some filtered light breaking through. Shot hand-held (something I rarely do with macro).
I was actually shooting another larger Garden Spider in front of me (tripod), when I spotted this smaller/younger version to my right. An insect had just hit its web, and here you see the prey newly wrapped.

When they eat they don't.. they drink their prey. First they wrap the prey, then bite & inject a substance that emulsifies.
As the prey converts, the white wrap turns dark.. then it's consumed.
