User's notes

While I was photographing this little jumping spider, a soldier fly landed on the same leaf of the Gymea Lily (planted). They were about 20cm apart at first. The spider slowly moved closer. Just after I took the photo of the pair, the spider jumped and landed next to the fly! The fly took off and the spider retreated to the underside of the leaf.
