I was photographing <a href=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/texas-wildflowers\/\">Texas Wildflowers<\/a> at the LBJ Wildflower Center a couple of\u00a0weeks ago and I posted a photograph of a <a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/yellow-garden-spider\/\">Yellow Garden Spider<\/a>. I returned to the Center a few days later and went back to the same spot where I found her encasing her prey, a Queen Butterfly, in her web. A little girl, probably around 5 years old, came up to see the spider and she said she was not sure if she was happy because the spider found food or sad because the butterfly lost its life. We had a chat about nature and how things like this happen as part of nature&#8217;s way. She was very grown up about the whole thing and then pointed to a spider that was right next to my camera and said nonchalantly &#8220;Mister, there is another spider right by your camera!&#8221;. She then ran back to her mother&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9637\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9637\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20160902-lbj-wildflower-center-142-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9637\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/prey\/yellow-garden-spider-with-prey\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20160902-lbj-wildflower-center-142-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
