Who is eating who? (1 Viewer)

I have often seen Damsels eating small spiders, but at what size does the Spider have to be for the role to be reversed and the Damsel becomes the meal?
I am not sure but, I think the Spider is winning in this case.

Hello David,
I'm not so sure your correct, I cannot see the Damselfly's head in your picture, if is there, there must be some of it missing. Somehow I don't think a spider of that size would have any trouble disposing of a Damselfly. Remember a Damselfly cannot parallyse a spider and to try and take on a large fast moving spider is a little beyong it's capabilities

Tetragnatha extensa seems to have decapitated the damsel.
