Jumping spider with housefly

Salticidae

Description:

This jumping spider is having a struggle moving this housefly up the side of the house, but is very determined.... The saying " Bite off more than you can chew" comes to mind. I hope he made it! It also gave a me a great opportunity to get a good image. It's got lovely markings

The fly would weigh more than the spider surely?
