The water spider feeds on small fish, shrimp and tadpoles. Sometimes, it also hunts bigger prey like the cricket.
The water spider captured the cricket with its claws first and then injected venom into its body.
The spider's nest is not big enough for the prey, so it tried to make its nest bigger. Finally, the prey was pulled into the nest, and the spider began to enjoy the meal.
