EDITORS COMMENTS
Spider Slayer Strikes Again! Meet the Cape Batis - Male, the ultimate superhero of the bush. This dashing avian is not your average feathered friend; he's a master predator with an insatiable appetite for spiders, insect larvae, flies, and all things creepy-crawly. Perched majestically in his leafy hideout, this male Batis exudes confidence and charm. With his vibrant plumage and piercing gaze, he's ready to take on any eight-legged foe that dares cross his path. From Afromontane forests to lowland evergreen havens, this fearless warrior claims them all as his hunting grounds. But don't be fooled by his tough exterior – even superheroes need their downtime. When he's not battling arachnids or saving innocent insects from harm's way, you can find him exploring valley bushvelds or enjoying a leisurely stroll through lush gardens. Native to Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, and our very own South Africa (specifically Grahamstown in Eastern Cape), this African heartthrob has stolen many hearts with his presence. Birdwatchers flock from far and wide just for a glimpse of this woodland wonder! So next time you spot a spider web shimmering in the sunlight or hear a buzz in your garden – fear not! The Cape Batis - Male is here to save the day. . . and maybe steal some hearts along the way.
