Скачать или смотреть All Wrapped Up and Nowhere to Go? Banded Garden Spider vs. Epaulet Skimmer (Cyprus Wildlife)

In this intense piece of wildlife footage filmed in Cyprus, we capture a dramatic, life-and-death struggle on a large orb web spun by the magnificent Banded Garden Spider (Argiope trifasciata).

A beautiful male Epaulet Skimmer dragonfly (Orthetrum chrysostigma) becomes hopelessly entangled in the spider's strong, silk snare. Despite its powerful wings and desperate attempts to escape, the skimmer is slowly being contained by the formidable predator. Watch in detail as the Argiope trifasciata, known for its impressive size and characteristic zigzag web stabilimentum, assesses and prepares to subdue its unexpectedly large prey.

This rare and captivating confrontation highlights the brutal realities of the Mediterranean ecosystem. Will the dragonfly manage to tear itself free, or will it become the spider's next meal?
