I once photographed a jumping spider that jumped into a web and killed the owner. A few days later I found what may have been the same jumping spider dead and eaten by a spider in another web:

Toilets can be interesting. From a recent trip

and, sadly unrecorded, the next location had a long-drop facility installed a respectable distance from the camp, with a wooden box construction placed over it.
BATS found it a convenient dark place to rest. Fine, except that on hearing someone approaching, they would fly out of the hole and up, at the unsuspecting visitor, generally eliciting a rather audible response.
Those who experienced it early on arrival in camp, were entertained by watching those heading off to use said facility, and listening.

That does sound entertaining. Rainforest bathrooms around here are the preferred habitat for giant foot-long amblypygids, which also produce some entertainment:
