Jaguar Jumping Spider with Prey, pt. 2 - _TNY_5729

This female little hunter next to the flying ant she was eating but got scared away from is a v-fronted jumper (Aelurillus v-insignitus). The name v-insignitus stems from the white chevron on the head of the male spider as "v-insignitus" means "signed".

 

Looking at this tiny lady though, I believe "Jaguar jumping spider" would be a much better fit.
