Jumper with big dinner & a couple of ants

[orionmystery]

Big and beautiful jumping spider with her even bigger Christmas dinner - a Pisaurid I think. Spotted by pbertner. More than 4 hours on and she was still enjoying her big dinner. Christmas night macro, Selangor.

Good looking Giant Forest Ant (Camponotus gigas) on the forest floor at night. Despite their huge sizes (20.9mm to 28.1mm), they are really very gentle and even shy! One of my most favorite ants! Selangor, Malaysia.

Cute Meranoplus sp. ants tending to some scale insects. Selangor, Malaysia. Don't you just love the heart-shaped butts of these ants
