Jumper Eats Another Jumper
Feb 13, 2013 17:42:40 #
Photographed two other jumpers eating each other today also. This guy actually went up into the other spiders home and drug her out. I have seen other large jumpers in this very spot, so must be a key hunting area. They take no prisoners. The larger spiders eyes are covered by the smaller spiders webbing. The females build a small cocoon type of structure to live and lay eggs in. This male wanted a fat, fast lunch.

Hey, you know where I live. This spider was up under the drip line of a metal roof and would not move. I was even pushing the spider with my finger. First spider to ever sit still with me touching. I wanted a better shoot, could not get my lens in up under the drip line. I hope he wasn't rabbit and attack me next time I visit the lake.I'll put a spider hunt with you on the ol' bucket list... Great shots.

Well this brings up this question:Great capture...I didn't realize they were cannibals.
"If those with a vegetable only diet are know as vegetarians, why are cannibals not known as humanitarians?
Just wondering....
