Magpie Dives In And Snatches Spider

Australia — This woman was traveling down the mountain from Maleny in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland when she suddenly saw a terrifying figure in the rearview mirror: a spider. A huge spider. The woman immediately pulled over and asked a tradesman to swipe the spider off, to which the tradesman replied “Hell no!”

I kept driving hoping to send it flying, but it just kept wandering about the back window. I got out and turned on the camera, in case everything went pear-shaped, and as I worked up the nerve to do the swipe, then in flew my unlikely 'hero.' A Magpie, the torment of cyclists across the nation, dove in front of me and snatched the spider for his midday snack. I love birds.

Thanks, random magpie!
