Phidippus princeps feeding on male culicidThe four clips shown here (in sequence) depict an adult female jumping spider (Phidippus princeps, Araneae, Salticidae) from Greenville County, South Carolina, USA, feeding on a male mosquito (Diptera, Culicidae). Most of the complete sequence of feeding is shown. Soft-bodied prey like this are thoroughly macerated with the chelicerae. Note the use of the two front pairs of legs (legs I and II) to manipulate the prey during feeding. [I highly recommend the AVI codec used to process this video (Microsoft MPEG 4 Video CODEC V3)]
