Jumping Spider with Prey

Spotted this guy with his huge prey in the Garden. At first I noticed the skipper & then thought why isn't he flying away? Every once in awhile it would move alittle. I moved a leaf for a better view & NOW I see why It wasn't moving!

I think these Jumping Spiders are the coolest inhabitants of the garden. They are one of my favorite subjects to photograph.

I like 'em too. I have many pics, but none with prey. Cool capture!

I think I've seen that on National geographic. They're great!
Look at the little macho! hahaha!

Have a look at Portia, my favourite..
A cunning little thing....
But these jumpers are my second favourite...
I prefer little, silly ones.

Great 'MACRO', BTW..
