Default Tooth and claw

While out in the garden today I was looking at some white Love-in-a-mist and
wondering where the hell it had come from. I noticed a tiny spiderling,
sitting proudly in the middle of a minute web. I also noticed a small
damsel fly.

The damsel fly suddenly darted into the web, grabbed the spiderling and then
chose one of the flowers to perch on, where it eat the spiderling.

I have never seen this in real life before. Fascinating!

It's pointless to try and discuss ethics with a spider.
