A bee moves in to try to rescue another from the grasps of a Goldenrod Crab Spider on a Black-eyed Susan in the garden of Barbara Hill off Hotel Road in Auburn Thursday morning. The bee jumped on top and tried to pull his friend off, but gave up after several attempts, allowing the spider to continue wrapping up it's dinner. Goldenrod Spiders have small jaws which contain venom. This venom allows them to take on animals much larger than them. Usually, the Goldenrod Spider grabs its prey with its front legs and injects the venom. It then sucks all the body fluids from its prey.
