Much in life takes place at the very small intersect. Today, we saw a very small action right in front of our eyes.
As we left our complex this afternoon, the young man at the gate called us over. His eyes were aglow and he was clearly excited to show us something. What he was looking at must occur a million times a day, but neither he or us had ever seen it before. Right before our eyes was a small spider eating a mosquito. You could clearly see the spider chomping it down. The guard spotted the small spider on the wall and just as he went to knock it away, he saw the spider quickly grab the mosquito in his mouth. Ken and I came along at the perfect time.
We often read about the number of bugs that are eaten by bats and swallows and other bugs, but you never see it happen. But today, there it was, a tiny spider eating a mosquito at least three times it's size. It is the natural world at work, on a very small scale.
