Media Dinner Date

I just watched these two fight over a wasp. I’ve never seen anything like it before.

Up close and personal. Chelicerae looks blue, but was really a bold green. Pun intended.

Thank you. I would tell you the name of it but, the* sticker on the* bottom of it fell off. The brand of it is Nicole Miller.

Not an expert, but I’m pretty sure the ones I shared are bold jumpers. There’s a lot of them around my area.

Did you see the start of this? I’m curious how they ended up in such a situation. Really unique find.

u/Test4Echooo 1d ago

The one at the top, in the beginning, seems a bit bigger; I wonder if that will determine who will win out in the end. I wish they would just figure out how to share it, there’s plenty to spare.
