Spider Catches Knight Anole

spider eats knight anole

We’ve seen photos of spiders eating anoles before, but this takes it to another level, a nasty golden orb weaver spider taking down the King himself. Admittedly, King, Jr., but still. Whoa. The photo is online with no information.

    I saw the same thing in the parking lot of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami. This (very young, adult green anole sized) Knight Anole was caught in the web of this Golden-silk orbweaver.

  2. Argiope argentata is the spider, well-documented to catch and eat anoles: Lazell, 2005, Island…. And citations therein.
