It's enough to make your skin crawl – massive spiders slowly devouring their prey as they lay helpless trapped in their webs.

Ninemsn readers have shared their incredible photos of spiders attempting the seemingly impossible – to eat tree snakes and birds several times their size.

Cairns resident Ant Hadleigh told ninemsn he was amazed to see a golden orb spider kill and then eat a brown tree snake in a friend's backyard earlier this week.

I've heard of spiders eating small birds, but I thought it was rare. I guess spiders are getting smarter... maybe so smart they'll start capturing little kids and eventually fully grown adults.
