In my opinion, which is worth very little, this is the greatest bug video ever made.

It's also the first YouTube video I ever saw.
P.S.(I'm sorry Thunderthighs that I did not make the link into that word thingy that you can click on by adding some ...'s and some ///'s and http kind of stuff. I tried, I really did.)

I thank you for this...I was sitting outside on the bench at work, watching a spider (probably a jumping spider) I thought it was kind of cute. My friend sits down and the spider hid between the boards. It came out a few minutes later and I tried to feed it some hamburger. He would not touch it. My friend sees that and jumps up, he as going to kill it. I said wait wait wait this thing is very cool just watch. I got the burger closer he backed away. I was a bit disappointed to say the least. I smacked a fly dead with a ball cap. The spider was not interested in the dead snack I prepared. My friend was growing impatient and had the look of a spider killer in his eyes again. Hang on I pleaded. I smacked a 2nd spider with the cap this time not as hard. The fly was dazed and walking around I pushed it slightly toward the spider. Hmm some interest appeared on the spiders face, he was looking at the wounded fly. The distance was to great for the spider to reach the fly. It was at least 4 spider lengths distance between my new buddy and the dazed fly next thing I saw was the 2 became one. I blinked and looked again. Did the fly leave? No. The spider had the butt end of the fly twitching out of it's mouth. The spider coved the distance between his lunch and himself in a flash. I think my friend will have a hard time killing spiders from now on.
Please don't delete this post, I am trying, honest!
