Spider on Spider

[Ironwood]

When poking around around in some bushes near my shed the other day, I saw this male Mopsus Mormon attack the Orbweaver (?), by the time I got my camera and found it again the fight was over, but I still got a few shots of the Jumper with his prize.








I was holding the tip of the leaf with my LH fingers and moving the leaf in and out from the lens to achieve focus, he jumped onto the back of my hand.


After a quick couple of photos, I put him safely back on the shrubbery.


Taken with the Nikon D7100, and Nikon AF55 F2.8

Thanks Mick, Lloyd, and Eaglem. It always makes for more interesting photos if you can find them with prey in their clutches.

A wonderful series Brad. It's always more interesting if they are actually doing something. Good eye contact too.
