Hover-snack

Well, as cute as hoverflies are, they sometimes get the timing all wrong and fall into the clutches of a hungry predator like this small Jumping Spider (Salticidae sp.)

 

He was certainly enjoying the snack and was all green-eyed as I approached with my macro rig. Shortly after taking this he's had enough and scurried of with snack well in tow and disappeared into a crevice to enjoy in private. And who can blame him. I felt like a papparazzo outside a cafe.
