Guarding dinner

I don't know if this is the same spider as the one who was roosting in the yard (see the video from a couple weeks ago), but it's roosting over the stairs on my deck. Of course, when I stuck a camera right up in his face (give or take -- I get decent working distance with this lens), he started moving around. Then I saw a dark thing on my shirt and freaked out. It was just a fly, but you couldn't have conviced me of that at the time. I had fears they had gone all Jurrasic Park-style raptors on me and the one dazzled me with its web and catch while the other had moved in for the kill... yeah, unfounded fears, fine. I'm not a fan of spiders like that.
