Death Match - Balclutha

Death Match - Balclutha
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA
August 6, 2009
Life and Death struggle between a Venusta Orchard Spider and a Balclutha leafhopper. Interestingly, the leafhopper can use those hind legs much like a kangaroo. The leafhopper was putting up such a valiant struggle, I separated them with piece of pine straw.

Unlinked and posted one for the spider and one for the leafhopper
