Jumping Spider with prey

Found at Auburn River National Park. Queensland, Australia.

 

Jumper is possibly Sandalodes sp.? Prey looks to be a female pollen katydid.

 

From a distance, I saw something hanging from a branch and went in to investigate. Found this amazing scene. Jumper and prey were suspended from the branch solely by a wide thread of silk.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
