Field Notes

Description:

I think this is a jumping spider of sorts.. eating a crane fly.. I know Project Noah does not like more than one species per posting, but felt this was an exception since the one species was in the process of being eaten. Is this a Grey Wall Jumping spider?

He was found in my Callas, just peacefully sucking the life out of his prey. He is teeny tiny... perhaps a 1/4 of an inch

I think your guess is correct and it is very appropriate and useful to post two species when they are engaged in such interaction.
