The other day I saw yet another jumping spider on the exterior wall of my house. If I was any good at identifying them, I could do a 100 species project just on salticids. This, however, was the first time I've seen one in the act of eating.


And just what is it eating? Look at the many fused segments, the plethora of long legs...
Yes, that's right! It appears that our little jumper has caught a young Scutigera coleoptrata, or house centipede!

Now, who can catch the yellow jackets! I just got stung for the first time since I've become a pest control professional, and I wasn't even at work!
