$The Master Killer - Rhene jumping spider One of my friend who shoots spiders, once said about how these Rhene jumping spiders hunt other spiders with stealth. They are one of the most powerful hunters among the spiders. I took his words lightly and thought they might be like any other jumping spider. It was on my annual visit to the edge of one of the water fall in the Western Ghats. Every visit, i was offered something new. It was packed with many first from this place. After spending one night, the next day we packed and were about to leave. Then suddenly this Rhene spider caught my attention. I didnt understand what me stare this spider. My friends called me to start the return journey, i didnt budge, my gaze fixed at the spider, then within a fraction of second, the spider caught this caterpillar. It went straight for its neck. The caterpillar with all its energy twisted just 2 times, but the venom was so powerful, it lost its battle in no time. It is definitely one of my best natural history moment in my wildlife journey.
