A cross spider or European graden spider catches a bug and spins a cocoon around it for dinner later on. I was actually filming flowers when I saw the spider leaping to an insect and I was just in time to capture it catching the bug. You may have to rewind to see the beginning when she catches the bug because it happens very fast.

I used After Effects to enhance saturation up to 20%. I had to reposition the video in AE many times to keep the spider within view because it was a windy day and the web was swinging violently from left to right.
Video compression: Best Quality
Keyframes: 5
Please view in High quality because the normal quality doesn't give a good result.
