The Cairns Post reports Ant Hadleigh - a man who lives in Cairns, Queensland, Australia - seeing the sight of a yellow-eyed spider trying to feed a brown snake entangled in a spider's web when he visits someone's garden friend. Immediately Hadleigh photographed that rare sight.

"A few times the snake tried to raise its head against the spider. At that time the spider ran away. If someone bet on the winner in the battle, I would choose the snake, because it was quite big , " Hadleigh to speak.

Hadleigh thought the snake had a body length of about half a meter and still lived for more than an hour after getting caught in the spider web. Then it died from spider venom.

"I saw the spider bite into the snake's body. The part where the spider bite turned black and swelled, " Hadleigh said.

The day before a honeybee had fallen into the spider's network and a fierce battle had occurred.

"The bee tries to burn the spider many times, but the spider uses its legs to push the enemy nib out of its body," the man described. Finally the bee lost and became the spider's meal.
