Jumping spider feeding on cricket (pics)

I found this Phidippus jumping spider wandering around on my living room ceiling. Before releasing it outside I thought I’d take a few photos, and considering that its abdomen looked a little small, I gave it a two-week old cricket to eat.

These photos were also a test of a new flash bracket and diffuser I’ve put together. I have to say that I am very pleased with the results!

There are a couple more photos of this critter on my blog.

Cheers,
EC

Jumpers are so cute, especially up close.
Nice shots!
