    Oh that sounds awesome! I love giant spiders and watching them eat can be so much fun!

    I had a green lynx spider in my backyard last summer. She was really good at keeping pests off of my cucumber plants. I had zero aphid issues when she was around. I got to watch her eat her mate and make 2 egg sacs but only one was viable. It was so fun to see her build and fill one of the sacs.

    I also had a praying mantis on my luffa plant. I would find inchworms eating the leaves and move them closer to the mantis. It was a lot of fun watching the attack and eating, when it would take the first bite, the inchworm juice would pop out and get all over the mantis face. It was pretty cute. I took soooo many pictures and videos of my spider and insect friends.
