#Arachtober 13 (it's still the 13th somewhere!): a fast-moving, red running crab spider (family Philodromidae) eating an equally fast-moving, red whirligig mite (family Anystidae)! From back in July, seen on the Park Dr Reservation Trail, southwest of the Evergreen Brick Works.
Possibly _Philodromus rufus_? I've only identified a _Philodromus_ to species like, once.

On the Beltline Trail the other day, my sister and I spotted this delightfully and unusually pink running crab spider (family Philodromidae). A closer look showed it was feeding on a bright red whirligig mite (family Anystidae)—perhaps how it got that colour??
