Can you watch?

Here's an incredible movie, it graphically shows one example of the life and death struggle going on in every nook and cranny of every dusty shed, every acre of wood and every spindly hedgerow. It's difficult to watch this and not feel sorry for the moth but our feelings count for nothing of course; this is reality, nature red in tooth and claw, all we should do is count our luck that spiders didn't evolve to the size of dogs (even though my wife claims there is one that lives in our bathroom that size..) I challenge anyone not to wince even slightly as the spider sinks his fangs into it's prey and starts injecting the enzymes that will slowly dissolve its internal organs to be consumed by this furry little predator, its no wonder so many people have arachnophobia.

So much for teleology, if there is a loving deity he must really hate moths...
