Mealtime Quandary

October 15, 2007 / by soultrawler

In the invisible strands of spider thread, a multitude of silky milkweed-like seeds had settled in.  (They came from the gaping pelican-beak pod-halves of a cactus blossom, where they grew in thick clusters like furry tongues.)

The spider in charge hung above his hairy prey with hesitant mien:  "Hmmn, if I were a vegetarian, these tiny parachutes would make for a gourmet feast.  Now just HOW in the dickens do I get them dislodged from my web?  They're cluttering up the strands and impeding my acquisition of proper dining fare."  Lost in dense concentration, the 8-legged Sherlock hovered in mid-air.
