Salticus scenicus

Male Zebra Jumping spider dining on a midge on Antelope Island.
The white stripes appear to be more horizonal
on this spider but I guess it must still be a Salticus scenicus.

Young Male Zebra spider. The long gray palps on the front are
covering the HUGE black jaws--
the fangs are folded underneath so that gives you an idea of how big
they are. Such a large load
for such a tiny, tiny spider. One of my favorites. © Carol

or just wait until I go away and then eat it. © Carol Davis

a large meal on a Saturday
morning in Kaysville, Utah. The amount these little spiders
consume
for their size is amazing! © Trevor Edstrom, 6-25-2005
