Snakes were indeed quite popular on STEMsocial recently, and now it seems that we will start a spider week :-)

I must admit I had to read your title thrice before getting it fully. I initially thought that you mixed who ate who. Of course you didn't, and I find the fact that spiders can eat snake as surprising as you did. The small beast is stronger than the larger one... Whilst surprising, this however won't be the first time ^^

I would like to thank you for sharing these pieces of information that were all new to me. I will definitely remember them when I will start chasing spiders out of my garage. Local (non-dangerous) spiders usually invade us during winter time. We let let them rest there in a warm place, but at spring time, it is garage cleaning time, and we "clean the spiders" as well. Outside is good for them when the weather is warmer (and there are so many spiders inside that it becomes not acceptable :) ).

By the way, very lovely pictures! :)
