First jumper with prey.

I have been out for six or so hours watching the various bugs doing their thing. One of the upsides is that ones eye gets used to seeing small movements , even at a distance.
I saw this jumper climbing up a plant, then it jumped and appeared to have missed the leaf on the next plant. That was not the case, it pulled itself back up the short web it had left behind with it's prey.
I had to use live view because of the position (camera at arms length) but one shot was actually in focus. As I could barely see the screen in the sun I was pleased

Great find Bas, congratulations and great capture.

Wow, excellent capture Bas!

I have had one on the lens today, and this afternoon one was on my arm. Apart from the two above I didn't have any with semi decent focus.

Congratulations, Bas! The first shot is very cute indeed!
