User's notes
This small living spider has made its web on the mud nest made by a wasp under our birdbath. You can see a dead or paralysed grey spider (possibly a small wolf spider) still partly enclosed in the clay on the right in the first pic. It's a case of a spider using the nest of a wasp who, in turn, used other spiders as food for its growing young.
