User's notes
A Jumping spider dealing with its prey, another spider. To quote an article on how spiders consume their prey: ‘Spiders like flower spiders inject digestive fluids into the bitten prey and suck out the liquefied internal tissues, leaving an almost intact body husk behind.’ Close inspection of these images shows digestive fluids/liquified internal tissue within the husk of this Jumping spider’s prey.
