you'll notice this has been identified as a female. she's kicking butt on that old grasshopper/ant fable, which i will point out was characterized by males of the species, food for the entire year in one fell swoop! you go, girl!

10000 spider babies: what's for dinner?
spider mom:ummm, snake surprise
babies: leftovers, again?
mom: *sigh*, those were your dad's last words shortly before i mated with his headless corpse...
babies: you're such a romantic...

Excellent breakfast viewing! Again, how do people in Australia go outside and live to tell about it?

The spider and snake are African. Cairns should check their contributors. Therefore: Cairns, Ok, Africa, not so much. (for those two creatures anyway)

This story was originally about a South African snake and spider. The South African Brown Button spider is related to the Australian Red Back Spider.
They didn't even change the name of the woman when they changed her country.

But the basic story and pictures are real.
