"The Moth left home searching for a meal. It couldn't become one!"
Weaving the Devouring Trap
Stuck. The Moth struggled to escape. Its wings, its legs, rebounded against the sticky bonds.
The moth's eyes screamed as it saw the huntress closing in. Her sharp eight legs shrilled like knives.
It left home searching for a meal. It couldn't become one!
Stuck. It struggled harder. The stickiness of the strings only strengthened.
The huntress smaller than the Moth, started to weave. Her strings grew thicker and thicker.
The Moth struggled. It suffocated. Muscles waned. Joints almost broke.
The Moth finally surrendered...
The huntress took a bites and chewed on, as her white deadly strings devoured the Prey.
The End

Author Notes
This story is an entry to Week 2 of Dreemport challenge for June 2023. Prompt: "Thread." Since the theme of the second week is making a series, I decided to continue the story I wrote for the first week but couldn't publish in time.
So, this is a companion story to "Weaving Her Home" that I published a few days ago. It could be a sequel or a prequel. The Huntress in this story should be "Spidey" from the story before, but you could read this standalone.
I enjoyed making the art for the cover too, I wanted to make it similar but darker than the cover for "Weaving Her Home." The tone here is darker than the first one, after all.
What do you think?
I loved writing this drabble, I almost want to make these drabbles a weekly thing. Though it went through many changes. I wanted to use the bonus Prompt "Pride" but I couldn't fit it into the story by the time I finished it...
Oh, by the way: A lot of people have Arachnophobia. Do you have the Fear of Spiders? Answer in comments.~
