Size is Relative - TNY_7520

This female zebra spider (Salticus scenicus) which in itself is pretty small at at ~6mm (~1/4") suddenly looked pretty large when compared to the other spider which is some sort of Erigone sp..

 

The saltie charged and tried to catch its prey, but for some reason let it go and left it alone. Perhaps the Erigone got in a lucky bite in defense?

 

Canon EOS 650D + 100mm/2.8 USM Macro with a 20 mm extension ring.
