This ant is the same I posted yesterday.
It was on a wall eating another insect when a small spider came from behind and attacked it. The ant falls from about 1 meter high but seems to have nothing broken !
The attack was so fast, I didn't had the time to take a shot of the attack itself.

Wow... would the spider could even stand a chance? It must have been quite hungry to attack this ant.

neat, can almost picture the eagerness and anticipation in the spider eyes.

Good catch and timing.
