A nephila spider catches its prey in an impressive web, but a smaller spider has its eyes on the food. DarkVoidIII: What if this is some kind of interaction that nephila deliberately tolerates because it doesn't really harm either spider? There's more than enough food to go around for both of them and quite frankly most flies are quite a small meal to actually digest and not worth a whole lot of effort on nephila's part. Maybe she actually knows there's another spider there but is genetically programmed to ignore it due to it's vibrations being similar to male spiders of her species that are trying to mate with her? Oh, that sounds like the vibrations of a potential mate, I wouldn't want to eat him prematurely!

I've observed similar pairs of spiders, but the bigger one has a more distinct pattern on its abdomen and the smaller one is red instead of white,
The bigger one always dies few days after I observed them, but I've never directly seen what happened.

I was not expecting cuteness from watching a tiny little spider tug at web filaments. Hmm, is it on this string? Mmmm wait, let me double check. no, maybe not. how about THIS one? Wait no maybe it WAS the first one after all.
