This cricket’s taste of freedom was short-lived as a wolf spider quickly grabbed the poor insect.

Every morning, Lisa Vankula Donovan checks to see what critters are hanging around. On this day, a praying mantis came for a visit and Lisa offered the insect a cricket snack. When the mantis refused, Lisa decided to let the cricket go free, but its freedom was short lived. A wolf spider carrying her young on her back was hiding out and quickly snatched the cricket for her own meal. Credit: wannabe_entomologist via Storyful
