I have two good spider shots. One is a large spider about half inch long body and the second is of these tiny spiders in a cluster about as big as the prior spider.
I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die.
I knew an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
Perhaps she'll die.
And what ever these are!

Those are assassin bugs of some kind, still in the nymph stage. Nice find! Ive kept some as pets before, theyre amazing predators. Notice the "beak" they have (proboscis)? That is shoved into their prey and they inject digestive enzymes into their prey that way. What it does is then drinks the liquified guts through that proboscis like a straw. Be warned though, they can and will bite hard.
Beautiful pictures Steve..I always enjoy your posts and photos of spiders and other little creatures most of us fear..
