I love the spider confrontation, and the iridescent, crimson chelicerae of the brown jumper. What species?

The two squaring off are both males and I wonder if the confrontation is a competition for mates OR are they just hungry? - or both?

Very nice details in ALL the pics.

A lot of breeding going on now with these jumpers. I've been watching them signal females for the last few weeks when I make it down to my spider grounds. Either for a female or territory, tons of food where I find these guys.
