Two Spiders Fight Over An Ant Corpse?
I caught this rare battle between two house spiders the other night.
I've never seen anything like this before...
I cannot tell if the skinny spider is trapping the fatter spider and reinforcing the web during this battle or, if in fact the fatter Spider is trying to steal/feed on the ant corpse while fending off the skinny ones attacks.
What do you think is happening?

Wooh friend I would dare to say that I have arachnophobia, I think they are fighting but because of my panic I do not like to see them much ..
@jaybird wow! I've also never seen anything like this before...the battle between two spiders. I think fatter Spider is trying to steal on the ant corpse while fending off the skinny ones attacks.Great to watch them.
That big red ones gonna give me nightmares. What is that? I learned last week that the long-legged spider hates blackwidows and so if you keep them around your house they are predators to some of the most poisonous spiders in North America.
really? That's good to know since I usually allow one resident long legged spider to remain in my bathroom :)
That spider actually look kinda beautiful...hahaha
Ya there is an odd beauty to the scenes lol
this is cool .
