Browner than a berry

The glossy privets in the park are now drooping with large clusters of dark berries.  Curious whether anything was feeding on the berries, I inspected several bunches.  Although I did not find any sign that the berries were being consumed, I did discover one animal that had found another use for the berries: as a shelter.

A spider wedged in amongst a bunch of glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) berries.
