As darkness gathers, insects hiding from the sunlight emerge to rejoice in a nocturnal paradise. Dangers lurk everywhere. A Latouchia spider peers out of its den, waiting for prospective prey. A cockroach is the first to appear. Latouchia isn't a weaver. It is more of a digger. It hides in the dirt-covered bunker. Unwary prey that approaches it is bound to be ambushed. But the cockroach is too big, and its shell is too slippery to be easily captured. So, the wait continues. As an Aphrophora flavipes passes by, the spider springs from its hideout, only to fail again.
