Figure 1 in Predation on an oecobiid spider by Myrmarachne plataleoides (Araneae: Salticidae: Myrmarachnini) in Karnataka, with comments on araneophagy by salticine jumping spiders

Figure 1. Some examples of araneophagy by salticine jumping spiders. 1, Adult female Phidippus princeps feeding on a spider (Greenville County, South Carolina). This species, like many other Phidippus, is very aggressive toward other spiders, including conspecifics of the same size (Hill 2018b). 2, Adult female P. audax (Hentz 1845) feeding on a captured araneid spider (Columbia County, Florida). 3-6, Adult Colonus sylvanus (Hentz 1846) feeding on captured spiders (Greenville County, South Carolina). Colonus are particularly skilled at hunting and capturing both web and hunting spiders (Hill 2018a). 3, Adult female feeding on adult male Lyssomanes viridis (Walckenaer 1837). An adult female L. viridis has also been observed capturing and feeding on a juvenile C. sylvanus (Hill 2018a). 4, Adult female feeding on thomisid spider that it has seized by the rear of the carapace. 5, Adult female feeding on an adult female orbweaver, Leucauge venusta (Walckenaer 1841). Lecauge seem particularly vulnerable when they rest at the edge of their web. 6, Male feeding on a captured thomisid. 7-8, Two views of an adult male Anasaitis canosa (Walckenaer 1837) feeding on a captured theridiid at the edge of its cob web on a wall (Greenville County, South Carolina). A. canosa are better known for their predation on ants of all sizes (myrmecophagy; Edwards et al. 1974; Hill 2006), but they also feed on a variety of other small insects.
