If the World feels too big at times, think about how vast it must be for this little fellow. This tiny tiny little zebra spider is the size of a lentil (that is the corner of a swab container box for reference). Yet it can jump at almost one meter per second, making it a very fast and ferocious hunter, After getting fed up with my photo session, it went on running and jumping around, preying, and ended up feeding on an even smaller spiderling hiding in a nearby wall. Dangerously cute!
