Bird-eating spider

[JinjoCollectService]

A thread from the lands of the garbage bin was started - it showed this picture:


I figured maybe it was photoshopped -it seems like everything these days are, but it's not.
There's also this picture, which puts the spotlight on another spider enjoying a helpless bird as its meal.
I did some research and it turns out this spider is the Golden Silk Orb Weaver and its poison is not deadly to humans unless you're allergic.
I just thought I'd carry this interesting topic over here. I never knew a spider that could eat birds, until now.
