Monomad: Little Jumper Guards Its Home

I noticed the little jumping spider on a curled, dry leaf. That was its temporary home, decorated with silk webs. It was a holiday (Sunday), and it didn't go anywhere except guarding its home. I'm sure it would leave its territory to hunt when hunger struck. It had no rations to store. I noticed traces of molting on the web. I'm sure it had just molted, possibly yesterday or the day before. The molting increased the jumping spider's confidence and agility in moving and jumping through shrub stems to hunt.
