It became obvious that the running then swinging around and attacking was a style of defensive attack, possibly a tactic to take an opponent by surprise and lure them into strike range, after all , I wasn't chasing her, or even moving, yet 3 times she made the same run and swing manoeuvre. Unbelievable aggression from such a small spider just because I was watching her.</p></blockquote><p></p>
