Place your bet: spider x snake - who do you think would win this fight?

Imagine a deadly encounter between a spider and a snake - and we are not referring here to some sinister kind of slutty - both poisonous and dangerous. Which of the two creatures would you bet on? Because according to Daniel Piotrowski of the Daily Mail portal, this clash happened in Australia recently, and the spider was the best! Watch the following video:

According to Piotrowski, the sequence you just saw was captured by Neale Postlethwaite, a northern Melbourne farmer, and shows the encounter of a poor Pseudonaja textilis cub with a Latrodectus hasseltii spider. As reported to the publication, the Australian came across the scene above on Saturday morning, and was very surprised to catch the cobra suspended by the webs and trapped in the arachnid.

And as if it were little, Neale discovered that the poor snake was still alive when she found the two animals - hanging under one of the family's vehicles - but the poor thing apparently could not resist the action of L. hasseltii 's poison and eventually became a banquet that was shared by the spider with ants and other animals.

However, this is not the first time we have spoken here at Mega Curious about sinister arachnids that have been caught devouring other animals. We have already shown a spider that was seen attacking a gecko (you can access the article here), and one that, also Australia, was caught eating a snake (news link here).
