Gary Thompson Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Eat Or Be Eaten Found this jumper having an afternoon snack. And just to show that the spiders aren't always the predators....I was about to shoot this yellow crab spider, when this small cinnamin ant came running into the picture, grrabbed the spider, and managed to get the spider upside down. Notice the legs are still free. By the time I could recompose for the next shot, the legs looked like they were tied at the knees. At this point, I think the spider was done. And then along came the re-inforcements, and the two of them managed to drag the spider off. Jul 03, 2009 at 12:31 PM

alliec Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Eat Or Be Eaten Amazing sequence to catch with the ants and the spider. Ive seen a crab spider eating an ant but never the other way around. Superb stuff. Jul 03, 2009 at 12:57 PM

MarkB1 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Eat Or Be Eaten That's an amazing second set. I wonder what the ant used to tie the spiders legs, did you notice? Mark Jul 04, 2009 at 02:35 PM

LordV Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Eat Or Be Eaten Wonderful series- esp the sequence of ants capturing the spider- unique shots ! Brian V. Jul 05, 2009 at 05:51 AM

Matt Cole Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Eat Or Be Eaten all very nice shots but the Crab Spider series is excellent - I wouldn't have expected an ant to be able to attack and kill a Crab Spider. Matt Jul 05, 2009 at 06:50 AM

Adriaan Iden Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Eat Or Be Eaten Excellent series! Like Mark said, it looks like the spiders legs are tied together. At closer examination it looks like they are tied with the spiders own silk !? If thats the case, then the ant must be very, very smart. Jul 05, 2009 at 06:25 PM

_evt_ Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Eat Or Be Eaten Very interesting series of shots! Never would have guessed ants eat spiders. Jul 06, 2009 at 12:41 AM

Kenj8246 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Eat Or Be Eaten Very interesting ant behavior, Gary. Jumper is also quite cute...no other way to describe jumpers. Kenny Jul 06, 2009 at 04:42 PM

JimKramer Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Eat Or Be Eaten The ants have caught the spider mid-molting. The material that is tying the spider up is the spider's old skin. It literally can't get away from itself. -Jim Jul 06, 2009 at 09:39 PM

Adrian Jones Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Eat Or Be Eaten Superb series, great work capturing the ants and spider. Adrian Jul 06, 2009 at 10:26 PM
