Jumping Spider With Its Prey
It's great to finally find a jumping spider with its prey in my friend's garden. Watching this fight reminded me of the UFC championship, but this is the insect version. It's all about strategy and the way to knock down the opponent, I guess the spider knew how to win the fight. During the show, I managed to photograph this amazing scene with a smartphone, plus macro lens. I was relieved for the spider did not run, and I could freely take shots from different angles. Yep! It is another two-striped jumping spider (Telamonia Dimidiata), a common species of spider that is usually found perching on the leaves in the bush and forest.
This typical spider is found throughout Asian tropical rain forests, in foliage in wooded environments. Seeing that, I managed to get a few pictures soon I noticed it was calm. It's great to see its appearance from the closest range, especially the bright eyes that made me stay longer with this beautiful spider. It has two longitudinal bright brown stripes are present on the opisthosoma. This spider is harmless to humans.
