In the present study, I reported that the female adult crab spider Thomisus labefactus preyed on a female adult of the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi in the centre of the web. To my knowledge, the case that a large orb-weaving spider A. bruennichi is fed upon by the crab spiders with web-invading is not known previously. It has been shown that T. labefactus, considered commonly as a sit-and-wait predator, also aggressively hunt A. bruennichi, the large web-building spider, attacking its prey at the centre of web.
