lekDescription
A large wasp has immobilised a spider and has dragged it out from behind a bush and onto the wooden footbridge. She needed to drag her prey through a gap between the wooden planks, but it was almost hopelessly too big. Eventually it took her several minutes of failed attempts and scouting around before she finally succeeded and continued on her journey.
