22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
In Search of Lunch!

A spider (Thyene imperialis) was quietly hopping and moving between the fronds of a Mediterranean palm in search of potential prey, it was interesting to see the bright colours of the jumping spider and the colourful spines with the central light shining on the spider, it was truly our star of the day.
