Fly double-teamed by spiders. [More:]I wandered over to the buzzing sound, and found a spider-versus-fly battle raging. The fly was losing, but buzzing furiously. Watching the spider's finger-like legs roll the spider is a bit like watching somebody braiding. Spider #2 stepped up to bat when spider #1 had presumably wearied. Wandered off after the fly had stopped buzzing the way a popcorn popper stops popping when there's still a small but less-frequent bit of popping corn left at the end.

Update: Fly no longer buzzing, Spider #1 thanked spider #2 for its help and kept the fly meat.

I didn't know spiders helped each other out like that.
Now spider #2 has the fly. I'm going to anthropomorphize and say they're sharing. Or maybe they really are. (:
