Stomach-churning footage of spider goes viral after THIS is caught in its web

The short clip shows the large spider suspended on its web – and something surprising is caught in it.

A large snake can be seen struggling to move – hissing and twisting as it attempts to break free.

But there is no chance for the snake, which is held above the ground by the incredibly strong web.

The spider does not approach the snake during the footage, probably waiting for it to wear itself out first.

The gruesome clip has gone viral online, with over 70,000 views.

Commenters were at once fascinated and appalled, with one writing: “I wonder how would the spider go about it’s meal now.” (sic)

Another said: “Black widow webs are stronger than average, and that snake has no leverage.

“Without leverage it doesn’t matter how strong it is.”

Instead of throwing them up in the air, she throws them down, and the spin and bounce in and out of her hands.

But most impressive of all – the girl does this while walking back and forth on a flight of stairs.

The clip has had nearly a million views on Imgur, with hundreds of comments impressed by the trick.

One commenter wrote: “That’s some serious skill.”
