Spider Consuming Moth
This is a Phidippus Mystaceus spider who is most of the way through eating a moth. During the struggle, the spider got covered in moth hair. This is a macro photograph shot at 3X (3:1). The spider is roughly 6mm palps to spinnerets. Jumping Spiders make great pets and fantastic subjects for photography.
