Notes on the predation of vertebrates by Nephila pilipes (Fabricius, 1793)
Abstract: This short note documents the predation of Nephila pilipes (Fabricius, 1793) on vertebrates and the unusual way it handles prey. We speculate that this orb-weaving spider may have the ability to evaluate the threat level of large prey and adjust the order of prey handling accordingly.
