18+ cohanf, #Invertebrate season is gaining momentum here though spring is an on and off thing! Posted my first observation of the year to #iNaturalist Jumping #Spider caught a #fly in front of the house #arachnid #insects #Alberta #spring #nature
vids on #Spectra + #Youtube(10 minutes after writing this, forecast wind and showers/flurries blew in, rain quickly changing to huge flake/clumps of snow!) #sprinter

Another view, other side, a bit closer-small but not tiny spider, black with light coloured hairs around face and on leg joints, along with some lightish tan coloured markings on joints and around edges of abdomen. It is tightly grasping a medium size black fly with copper coloured eyes. Background is a light to medium blue plastic tarp composed of small squares.
side view of same spider/fly as first photo, with text that says "Okay, enough pictures, let me have my lunch!" in alternating lines of gold and blue text.
