Zebra spider, Salticus scenicus

-1- On a sunny Saturday, there he was, simply walking around looking for a meal. I left him alone for a while and he finally was able to catch a juicy midge!

-2- He started dragging it around, looking for somewhere safe; he just did not trust me with his midge!

-3- He dragged it into a tiny knot in the wood, all the time keeping an eye on me.

-4- He was ever so curious though and came out to peep at me!

-5- I believe he was challenging me at this point, and so I left him alone for a while to feast on his tasty meal. The End.
