ID: Spitting spider with mantis catch
Came across this beautiful and vibrant predator perched on the tip of the leaf, almost frozen like dead. But on close observation realized that the predator had a massive and juicy catch, making it still and immersed in enjoying the breakfast. It seemed hardly bothered with our presence and us framing it, one after the other. Rather it was surprising to see how fast the spidey dissolved the abdomen section and consumed the whole mass.
