Predatory behaviour of captive Eriophora sagana. In the 1st cut, the spider assaults prey insect (Hymenoptera), wraps and brings it to the hub. In the 2nd cut, about 10 minutes after then, the prey is rolled up into a black ball, and the spider wraps it again. In the 3rd cut, about 20 minutes after, the movement of chelicerae and pedipalps is visible.
