November 15, 2020


I am a Dewdrop spider
Living in a web with an Orbweaver
I am kleptoparasitic
That means I am a food and resource stealer.

(Note: It's hard to see, but look close - there is a tiny spider circled in red just above the large Orbweaver.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
