How the pelican spider hunts its prey

He lures her towards him. The aptly named pelican spider. No larger than a grain of rice, he has a formidable set of jaws. This male is on the hunt for his next meal. Using his extra long front legs, he searches for signs of life. A silk thread is the perfect lead. A female orb web spider. But she's protected by her sticky web. Fortunately, the pelican spider has had millions of years to fine-tune its technique. Mimicking the movements of a fly caught in her web, he lures her towards him. He uses his massive jaws to keep her at a distance and avoid her lethal bite. Then paralyzes her with his own powerful venom before tucking in.
