Don’t underestimate a Red Back!
An office receptionist got the shock of her life earlier this week when she found a 14cm long snake entangled in the web of a deadly spider.
A receptionist at an electrical firm , came in to work on Tuesday and spotted the strange sight next to a desk in her office.
Leon Lotz of the arachnology department at the National Museum said it was only the second time that he had heard of a snake getting caught in a spider's web.
It is believed the snake got caught in the web on Monday night.
But it did not take the spider long to bite it.
A red mark on the snake's stomach was evidence of where the spider had started eating it.
She also kept lifting it higher off the ground, while continually snacking on it.
Even a fly that accidentally landed on the snake was chased off aggressively.......
