Highway robbery - Phidippus
Copyright © 2009 G Whiz

Highway robbery - Phidippus
Alameda County, California, USA
November 2, 2009
Size: ~3/8 in., 10 mm
An encounter between a jumping spider and an ant, although the ant action occurs offstage--I didn't take a picture at the right time.

The spider was standing on the horizontal rim of our yard-waste bin, holding prey. This is about waist height.
