Here's a micro jumper that i've had for about a week and a half now. Hadnt eaten anything I was throwing in until I caught one of the tiny wolf spiders and it pounced on it.....threw in a couple more and he's as happy as a clam and fat now. Little fukker wouldnt stay still and pose for the camera....

Sure was, thats the one I was telling you about. I believe it's a "black headed" jumping spider.(by google'n for similarities).

And this is what it was preying on. The little wolfies scrambling on the floor when you sweep or usually hanging around ant trails. What are they ? always wondered.....(sorry bout the big pic)

Hard to tell for sure from the pics, but I think that last one is from the family Oecobiidae, Wall Spiders.
