Monomad: Menemerus Jumping Spider

This is a small world where this guy is known as a fierce predator of some insects. In the eyes of his prey, he may be a cute little guy. Everyone who sees him will certainly be fascinated by his black marble eyes. But they don't realize that he has strong and deadly jaws. He is cunning enough to hide his jaws behind his pedipalps. That trick fools many; they send themselves to death.

This male Menemerus jumping spider was taken in my yard. I have no idea what prey he was sniffing at that time—maybe an ant or a housefly?
