Plexippus paykulli
This pantropical jumping spider is munching on a flying ant.
Airport grounds. Near forest edge.
Updated to change the species. Thanks for the suggestion!
Perhaps a Pantropical Jumper, Plexippus paykulli. Coloration and pattern doesn't match the Gray Wall Jumper. Take a look at the links and see what you think.Pantropical Jumper: http://bugguide.net/node/view/26711Gray Wall Jumper male and female: http://bugguide.net/node/view/590931
