As a macrophotography lover, every day I often take advantage of the time gaps to take macrophotography photos in an open environment, both in the morning and in the afternoon and sometimes I also often do macrophotography shooting at night and the beauty and uniqueness possessed by insects or arthropod animals are my always find in close-up shots and recently I found a rare moment when an arthropod preys on an insect.
The jumping spider (Salticus) is a genus in the family Salticidae,sourcethis one arthropod has 4 pairs of legs and two small eyes and it turns out that this small arthropod animal has a deadly poison with the small body this one arthropod animal is able to kill insects that are larger than its body size and with a jump so fast that it is easy for them to catch prey larger or smaller than their body size.
At first I was doing macrophotography shooting around the village garden and around the flowers I saw a butterfly surrounding the flowers and I kept watching the movement of the butterfly that was flying, suddenly when the butterfly was sucking nectar on needle flowers, the butterfly flaps its wings and its head seems to be stuck around the flowers.
From a distance I only saw the butterfly flapping its wings a few times and when I approached it I saw a jumping spider biting the butterfly's neck, and I noticed the butterfly was dead.I tried to release the bite of the arthropod on the spider, but the spider ignored me, finally I decided to take some macrophotography of that two types of small animals and you can see all of them here.
