What an unbelievable find!!!

I do love both scorpions and spiders and I take no pleasure from one dying to another but such is nature.

The scorpion meal was probably more than welcome. The tarantula looks a bit on the skinny side. Perhaps I am just too much used to seeing fat and happy captive tarantulas
