Lynx Spider with prey

Found at Sonoita Creek State Natural Area in far southern Arizona. Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA.

 

I think this is probably Peucetia viridans - Green Lynx. Prey is some sort of hemipteran. Gotta love the daring little freeloader flies, very close to fangs!

 

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