Jumping Spider eating another spider. I was putting invasive Burning Bush trees in my composting barrel. Spiders climb off the branches and battle inside the barrel. I don't know the species.

I think this is a male, gray morph, Mavia inclemens, a Dimorphic Jumper. I have another photo posted of one.
Eris, prey looks like P. mira.
Yes, there are a lot of P. mira in that location and jumping spiders take advantage of the other arthropods that climb out of my brush barrels. The Jumping spiders sit on the rims of the barrel to grab other the escaping spiders and insects.
