Red back Spider Captures Mouse

I was sitting in my backyard and I saw this amazing thing. As a mouse ran under an old bike a red back spider shot a thread of web and managed catch it by the tail. After several minutes of struggling the spider completely wrap the mouse in webbing and dragged it into its web. I took several minutes of footage where you can see the mouse really trying to get out at the start but later slows down as the spider's poison started to affect it. This is the final clip I took, about 20 minutes after the mouse was first caught. Sorry about the shaky camera work.

NOTE: I WASNT CUTTING THE MOUSE SLOWLY!!!
I was making sure the clippers were straight over it's neck and the closing was done as fast as I could. I do apologize for anyone who found this hard to stomach.

Your a sadistic little fucker aren't you?

Reminds me of when i was your age.

@hyster16t

Excuse you, I have family that live in this house and i'm not about to let a poisonous spider infestation take place within it's premise. in fact authorities in Australia encourage residents of Suburban areas to remove red backs when spotted. And the more sadistic thing to do to the mouse was to leave it there dying.

@Disinf3ctant I think you have missed the meaning of what i said. I'm an Aussie too and have been bitten by Red Backs many times and wouldn't want them around my kids either.

Also if you are going to justify killing the mouse there is better, more humane ways of doing it.

So don't give me your bullshit excuse.

@hyster16t

What do you suggest? Strap it down and electrocute it? How about I get Barbiturate cocktail and inject it? Give me a break. This method had the exact same outcome as a mouse trap.

@JakeDean91909 its a red back dude, its closely related to the black widow, however differs in where the red mark is located and the way it catches the prey.

[qin02]

light the mortein with a match should have killed both without the over spray ;)
