On a recent visit to the island of Borneo, photographer Nick Garbutt found this dead spider just outside the field camp, its body seemingly in perfect condition. I've no idea why the spider died, he says. Having come across many other dead animals being dismembered by ants on the island, he saw an opportunity to record the process. Garbutt placed the spider, which including its legs was about the size of his palm, on a piece of paper. Then he took this series of photographs over 4 hours as ants broke it into pieces.
