User's notes

This is the same spider (~10mm in size) as in sighting 4662338, but during the next day. It was still feasting on the wasp (Vespula (genus)). Sometimes the spider & prey were beneath the agapanthus leaf & sometimes on top of the leaf. By about 4 pm the spider had finished feeding & was again perched on top of the leaf.
