Bronze Jumper - Eris militaris - Female
Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA

I assume Eris but could use some help.
I am posting these images from the Bugguide mini gathering and hope that others will post theirs so we can keep the best. Judging by some of the cameras there that day it should be easy to knock this down. Come on!

Yes
Looks immature. Probably a subadult female if this was taken anywhere near the two adult males you posted.

What's she got there?
I took some shots of this girl too (tho nothing worth posting). Body length 6 mm.

What's she got there? Is it just a smaller spider taken as prey?

I think so
not sure what type of spider is the meal.
