Cute Hunter - _TNY_8590
This male Attulus terebratus jumping spider was out and about on the sunny side of my mother-in-law's garage, looking for even smaller bugs to eat.
I actually saw him find one and sneak up on it, and after a considerable wait, he pounced and I figured it was a sure kill, but somehow the strike failed. The small bug (possibly one of these: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52818923046/) didn't react, the jumper looked confused and left and I haven't got a clue what went wrong.
