What A Parasite!

I had an earlier post from the BBC series "Life in the Undergrowth" (2005) on leopard slugs, well, here is another piece of the same series. I think it is fascinating how close we can get to another world of smaller sizes than ours by the use of modern film techniques. This world is full of weird creatures and their weird habits. This time I have chosen a segment about an orchard spider and a grub hanging to it, slowly sucking its juices away... It is amazing how cruel and beautiful the undergrowth world can be at the same time.
