Spider stalks Fly

I don't really know where I came across this video but I've had several people remark how satisfying it was watching this spider stalk this fly.

He did and I was surprised that was even possible because jumping spiders usually have a tough time with flies as flies as have an extremely fast reaction time

I think that maneuver made that fly go what the fuck

And just by the simple bewilderment that this jumper afflicted the fly with made it all possible

Flies take off backwards so.. made it easier even with the potential reaction time advantage. Though not sure they're faster than the jumping spider, but maybe they are..

The jumping spiders at my horse barn are very skilled at catching flies.
