frog gigger

While on an outing at Santee Coastal Reserve north of McClellanville ,this huge spider was spotted in the swamp. I could not really define what the spider was eating until I returned home and downloaded the image. I used a 1.4 converter on a 400mm lens with tripod on the boardwalk to attempt to pull in the spider that was at least 40 feet in the swamp.

Great capture. It isn't often that you see a spider eating a green tree frog!!!

That is waaaay cool. Is that an eye behind one of the spiders legs?
