My jumping spider took out a crane fly!

I was hunting for food to feed Greenbeard (thats his name) and I kept walking past this huge crane fly. I finally decided to capture him and hoped Greenbeard could handle it. Greenbeard took one look at him being introduced into his cage and lunged! I was pleasantly surprised and can only imagine he has a feast on his hands. I included some pictures. He's a big jumper but this was intense to watch!

Woaah, definitely a meal for him to be proud of. I just caught two jumping spiders today, going to set up their enclosures tonight.

Yeah, the jumping spider is active during the day and my G. Pulchripes is active at night. It's nice to have two timeframes to watch.

At night I've got an IP camera setup with IR to watch the sling bulldoze around. I record it to an SD card to enjoy when I'm bored throughout the day.

I also got a similar shot of one outside eating a crane fly: https://www.instagram.com/p/BDzFK9TOadW/?taken-by=spider_nerd Not the best pic.

Much better than mine! I enjoy seeing these guys eat... miniature carnivores seemingly without fear.
