Crab Spider eats Gecko


"So I moved a sawhorse in my shed and a medium large Gecko lizard went scurrying toward the corner of the shed. It's not unusual to see lizards and geckos in my yard. Geckos are very fast and I have never been able to take a picture of one. But this Gecko stopped behind a lawn chair so being curious I pulled the chair back to revel the Gecko on it's back tail wiggling like a worm. Thats odd I thought so I looked closer and there to my amazement was the Largest Wolf spider I have ever seen. It caught the Gecko while it was running and had a firm grasp of it's neck. At first I was startled but my next thought was Where is my camera? I got the camera and in that time the spider had moved up the wall with the gecko in it's mouth. ... I grabed the tape measure for a size reference I didn't get too close with it I didn't want to scare the spider off. The tape is a couple inches closer to the camera than the spider but it's close enough to be a good measure of the spider. "
