A READER of The Cairns Post has snapped an incredible series of images in a Freshwater backyard. Check out our photo gallery.

As a frequent visitor to the beaches and wild rainforests of Cape York, kite surfer Ant Hadleigh thought he had seen it all.

But the Cairns man was in disbelief after witnessing a golden orb spider slowly attempt to eat a brown tree snake at a mate's place in Freshwater yesterday afternoon.

"I thought it was pretty incredible," Mr Hadleigh said.

"A few times the snake managed to get up and attack the spider, and the spider would run back up the web.

"I would have put my money on the snake for sure, especially seeing how big it was."

Mr Hadleigh estimated the tree snake to be around half a metre long and was alive for "an hour or more" after being caught in the spider's web, before finally succumbing to the crafty arachnid's venom.
Damn, that's one of the few snakes that isn't particularly dangerous to humans.

More nightmares/pics at the link.

A somewhat slightly smaller (but still really intimidating) variety of golden orb spiders is really common in Taiwan. The photo (via wikipedia) is of a really similar one on Lamma Island (near Hong Kong). They're why I never liked traipsing around the jungle up in the national park behind my apartment. I'm no major arachnophobe but...

I would not want to come around a corner or open a door and encounter that at face height. Or any height.

The snake I like, the spider and the fact that it is eating the snake freaks me out.

I doubt you'd get a direct flight to Adelaide.
You'd need to have a stop-over.

In Cairns.
