Mid-hop. cool. I thought of a really good caption but due to it's sensitive nature I won't post it here. Maybe on facebook.

this forum needs spoiler tags or something.

Now this was cool, I filmed the spider working too... The fly was very much alive at the time too.

One place i like to herp near Portland Oregon ' is just basically a patch of untouched habitat surrounded by urbanization and I've seen deer there. The train/lightrail tracks go right along side of it. Well, on June 11th, it was on the local news that a railroad employee stopped the train to remove a fawn sleeping on the tracks!

Amazing, I was on a small train that was crawling towards the station waiting for the traffic light to change when we did an abrupt stop. (in the years before mobiles sadly let alone digital cameras!) Everyone was complaining at why he needed to do an emergency stop when he was only doing 5 - 10 miles an hour anyway. It was a local two carriage train, and we watched the driver get out and relocate a female cat and her kittens one by one to a safer place off the tracks! we all cheered when he got back in.
