Daddy Longlegs Spider - Flesh Fly - Animal Hunting - Wildlife India
Three cellar spiders (Crossopriza lyoni), one carrying eggs, ensnare and bind a flesh fly (Sarcophagidae) in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 28, 2026. The spiders' wrapping creates an effect that makes it appear as though both the spiders and the fly are floating in mid-air. This synanthropic species, commonly known as the daddy longlegs spider, is harmless to humans and often feeds on household pests. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
