Looks like I've seen this same species on this water while on couple of Pelagic bird-watching trips earlier.

There were 2 individuals very near. Have seen about 4 individuals whole day. They're hanging around water parts where we'd seen lot of dead fishes floating around, probably thrown out by fishing boats. So they're probably feeding on free meal.
Size about 3 to 3.5 feet. Other individual seen very near was under 2 feet.

Looks like Mantidfly molted on top of the spider eggs
It was being eaten by a green lynx spider.
Female killed a dragon fly. The spider was about 10 cm up, it descended slowly using web to a nearby perch and then pounced on the dragon fly, I ran in and got my phone for a few pics, by which time the dragon fly became immobile. Hyllus I've seen take big prey at my garden.
Observed this wasp getting some sort of resin and taking it inside the ledge of the book shelf. On observing closely, this wasp was building a nest completely using the resin.

Lended by other fishing boat. This went to some our stomachs, while on pelagic birding. 😂

Jumping spider hunting on Mating pair of Red Pierriot. It fed one and then caught the second one. Red Pierrot could not separate out and escape.
Its size is about 2mm and last two pics are same species with 3-4mm size, which i have found nearby distance from first one.

Had a great day finding and photographing spiders with @shashikanthbkambannavar
This spider was so restless we had to trap it using our hands to get any decent shots. It would jump once every second and always away from the camera.
Matriphagy behavior
Found this in web. Wild plant
Not what is thought of as "normal" D. grandoculis, perhaps due to be split. Size of eye, pupil shape, labial count, and coloration do not match D. grandoculis but it is accepted as said species under current taxonomy.
