A scene from the BBC's "Life in the Undergrowth" showing a tight triangular net used to catch a fly and a net-casting (Deinopidae) spider fishing a cricket with a "cobweb sack" using its own legs.

Re: David Attenborough: Net-Casting Spider
I heard that Aussieland has a lot of nasty crawlies. The nastiest move about on two legs -- kangaroos, you doofus, but it's said it's still a nice place, with green grass if only you water it well and CAREFUL!!! SNAKE NEAR THE PORCH! I'd go out hunting crocs all day. Fate has made me a lemming hunter, though.
Re: David Attenborough: Net-Casting Spider
Ah yes, which reminds me of a long ago http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/234374/detail/
No crocs my way however there are many a sharky-poo, snakey and spidey.
Seeing as you refer to lemmings so often I may actually have to look them up...
(meanwhile, back at the centipede cemetry...)
oh of course, an Arctic critter. You must be skinny living off them.

Re: David Attenborough: Net-Casting Spider
Lemmings are like rice; you eat them in large numbers if you feel hungry.
Still, skinny... Yeah, sort of. Bones and muscle, that's pretty much it.

Re: David Attenborough: Net-Casting Spider
Another fine post, Schmoke. I saw the raw footage of the net-casting spider when the photographers first lucked upon it, but there's something about Attenboroughfying that just makes it magical and all spine-tingly. Thanks for bringing it around. :)
