Like other spider species, the cat-faced orbweaver injects its caught prey with a venom, which paralyzes it. The spider liquefies the insect before eating it. The cat-faced orbweaver eats other insects and other...

"I think that was an outstanding job of coaching, holding his top players to make it a more competitive game," said...
