    It looks as if it's eating something.

    Could it be the leaf - or an insect caught in the web?

    (It's robbing the spider's larder if it is the latter.)

    Think it may be attached by the tail to a piece of web, those plants were full of them.

    It was there for a long time (at least half an hour). I think clever old Rolf may have the answer - here it's closer in - looks like a thread of web coming from the tail.
