Default A Jumping Spider With Mouthful Of One Lynx Spider

A friendly little creature," Jumping spider". Caught him in the act while he was having her mouth full.

I can't help it. It just reminds me too much of the documentary Movie "Super Size Me".
Not creative enough to present it otherwise. I find the look is just priceless to me. Do pardon me for my over facination cos this is my first of such shot.

Comment is welcome.



What follows is just mindless shooting of the lady jumping with her prey and trying very hard to escape our view.

The prey in clear view after she accidently drop it. No disrespect but that is how it is in a cruel animal world.


She got it back in no time and continue consuming the local delicacy.

I lurve heavy jumpers. Esp with those huge inquisitive eyes!! Great captures. Normally, not so easy to catch them as they are pretty active.

Thanks nyxx88. You are right about the active part. But I find them less hyper when they have food in their mouth.

Hi tchunaye, Wow, those are really incredibly wonderful shots. I really admire your skill and patient. Luck really nothing to do with it when comes to your macro shot.
