Spiders be watchin' my back

I really wanted to put up a scorpion picture for you all, but I am reluctant to let one out of my sight while searching for my camera. They move so damn fast. THUS, here is a large-ish spider who took down a most annoying insect for me. She sucked the insides out and then left the hollowed exoskeleton on my sink.  Perhaps not the classiest of statements, but such is the nature of Albanian housekeeping + the insects that both support and thwart attempts to maintain a sparkling abode.
*Note: It took three wild attempts to kill my first scorpion with a shampoo bottle before I approached the situation rationally and severed, instead of squashing.  Remember, sever.  They've got exoskeletons, too.
