Gil Wizen, who took the frightening under-bed photo the Brazilian wandering spider, also won the Behavior: Invertebrates category. This winning photo shows a fishing spider stretching out silk from its spinnerets to create an egg sac. Wizen stumbled upon the scene after removing a piece of loose bark.
