Louie and Spidy

Today morning I went to a store room which was once my study room. Ever since studying and I parted the room is dedicated to scrap(s) . There were webs all around and a number of subjects, mosquitoes(or Louie). I was troubled by one of the Louies and thus the 'discovery' instinct grew within me. In order to teach the Louie a lesson and satisfy my curiosity on, how a spider hunts, I decide to do an experiment. I tried to guide Louie to Spidy's abode. I blew, waved my hand , curved them in order to take Louie to the web. Whenever Louie reached the place , it kind of played with the web and again flew away. After many many tries it ultimately got 'trapped' in it. As soon as Louie started to struggle to get out of the web Spidy took notice of it and charged towards Louie. Louie too judged the situation well and stopped its struggle. I reckon spiders do have 4 pairs of eyes, but Spidy could not locate Louie when it had stopped moving. Quite exciting!! the struggle of a mosquito. I did wait for a bit but then how long could I have waited. I used a catalyst and waved my hand. In response to sudden flow of air Louie started moving again and in response Spidy also charged towward Louie. I stopped waving and Louie stopped moving, Spidy again lost the track of Louie. It happened 3-4 times and then I got bore of this play and I wanted to witness the hunt. I gave the final blow of air that almost detached the 'trap' from its place. Louie moved and kind of got away, but exausted out of previous attempts it got trapped again. Spidy didn't loose the track this time and got its 'sting' into Louie. Louie became numb instantaneously. Spidy moved away and started dancing, it did !! Moving back and forth at a distance from Louie. Spidy again charged to Louie this time using the special web-making-solution( killer as I call it) to tie legs of Louie all into one. Last time when I had performed the similar experiment the spider tied the legs with the wings of the mosquito. I guess the basic aim is to stop the motion of the insect. So as the Spidy grew a strong hold over Louie by tying legs together it also tied the wings. Death for Louie was inevitable. The sting and the killer had done the trick. Spidy soon wrapped Louie into a cocoon like structure and Louie's mummy was ready and left to the display for any 'visitor', like mummies of many other insects.

Kahani khatam, paisa hazam !!
