Macro photography of a jumping spider eating a jumping spider.

in photography •  8 years ago 

One day a few years back, I went to the park on my lunch break. I went to a rose garden in Dallas Texas. I was looking for some macro subject to photograph when I came across a jumping spider that was eating another jumping spider. I knew that spiders were cannibalistic but I had never seen it myself and especially not up close.

This first shot shows a side view of the spider inside the others mouth.044.JPG

This is another view.036.JPG

After a few minutes of photos the spider dropped the other one, probably out of fear.
