Lunch Time !

Here's another one i took on the same day last week of the same Male Jumping spider as seen on the leaf.

When i let him down on the floor, he chased some ants for a while but then he stopped and i noticed he was staring at something curiously. He had found this tiny aphid !

I could just about see the aphid, but when i took the picture i could see it a lot more clearly and i luckily got an infocus shot of the both of them, right before he munched it up which you will see in the next photo i post soon.

 

I'd say the Jumper was 5mm making the aphid around 1mm maybe smaller, to the naked eye a dust grain, literally.
