Jumping spider wins - Naphrys pulex
Milton, Massachusetts, USA
April 13, 2005
The light colored spider on the left went after the jumping spider, and it wasn't even a contest. The jumping spider was on top in less than a second. It's funny how the other spider looks bigger, but when the jumping spider is eating it, the jumper looks much larger.

I guess these jumping spiders have the muscle to back up the big show they put on.
