spider and ant
1

jumping spiders usually don't want to be near ants.  This is the first one I have seen eating an ant.

These were shot on the wall of my garden shed and flipped to be easier to see.

The spider and the ant are very small.

I have seen a lot of this species in the garden lately.  They are very camera shy.

They move around a lot less when they are eating.

There was strong morning sun and I was using flash.  I lightened the shadows a lot.
