Happy Halloween!
After my son scooped out a pumpkin he was carving, I fed some of it to a terrerium full of detritivores, and a small piece fell into the web of an invading Pholcus phalangioides.
Not only did the cellar spider start eating the pumpkin, but it wrapped it in web, and is still eating in over 30 minutes later.
