Spiders may not bite, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get them to drink your blood! All you need is a sunset at the beach, hordes of mosquitoes, a spider, and some frustration to take out.<\/p>\n

The other night, I was unwinding with an evening of wasp and bee photography<\/a> at Iona beach, but the flight conditions were great for mosquitoes. They kept interrupting my shots of this lovely Tetragnatha laboriosa<\/a>, so I decided to share the wealth.<\/p><\/div>\n

Trapping the mosquito against my skin, I released it in the sweet spot of the web.<\/p><\/div>\n

You can see the movement of the wrapping action, as I was also dragging the shutter<\/a> to get some light in the darkening sky.<\/p><\/div>\n

I was looking forward to a great splash of blood as the spider bit in!<\/p><\/div>\n

This one is pretty cool too…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"IMG_7416\"<\/a>

The mozzies kept biting, so I kept tossing them into the web.<\/p><\/div>\n

I kept the spider busy wrapping up her gifts for quite a while.<\/p><\/div>\n

When we both had had enough, I headed home, feeling itchy, but satisfied that I had at least achieved the fattening up of a cool tetragnathid.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
