Spider with moth cocoon

This minute moth cocoon was on a wall in the house, and the even tinier spider, almost too small to see with the naked eye, was vigorously trying to get at the larva inside.

Wow, well spotted and captured. I feel a bit sorry for the larva, but I guess this is nature at work. V.

Fascinating find, Christine! I wonder if the spider was successful.
