Those with arachnophobia or a general fear/repulsion for insects may want to skip this one…
The fly must have been freshly caught at this moment, it was still struggling. I had to aim in between moments when it moved.
The spider had retreated to its hiding place shortly after, obviously waiting for the toxins to do their work.
At this point the fly was motionless enough that I could take a series of focus bracketed shots. I have tried the in-camera stacking, but an open-source program did a better job.
About a half hour later the fly was gone, apparently transported to the spider's place, ready for consumption.
