I know.

Jumping spiders have to eat, but do they have to snag the bees?

Last weekend as we were checking the lavender patch in our yard, we noticed something partially hidden--and moving--on a post.

It was a jumping spider eating a honey bee. Later in the afternoon, the same jumping spider snared a sweat bee. 

If you have flower patches in your yard--and you should, to attract the pollinators--you will also attract the predators. 

Fortunately, they don't eat as much as Joey "Jaws" Chestnut of San Jose, the hot-dog eating champion of the world.
