Looking for spider here which does appear to be a Salticid in closer.

Located on the side of a storage shed this arachnid appears to be smaller in nature. Its colours are a mix of white, black, and orange. The predominant colour is black with bits of white that line the abdomen. Located also on the abdomen is a single orange dot resting in the middle. It appears to be eating some type of dead insect not quite for sure what though.

Didn't get a picture from the top, but I did see that it's the bold jumping spider.

Male Phidippus regius(?) eating a tree frog (Hyla squirella?) on a saw palmetto. I often see small tree frogs nestled up in the leaves during the day, and it looks like these salticids have noticed as well.
Video: https://youtu.be/bLVKa6_P4Wc
This is the second time I have seen a Phidippus regius eating a frog. The other was an adult female: https://youtu.be/vIG-mdh8zP0
Anyone know the best way to distinguish between P. regius and P. audax males?

@bothrops07 I went out to the woods today and I think I found an adult. Am I correct?

Eating what looks like a bee. Biggest jumping spider I've seen.
Nice find by @danielled83.

Not sure what the predator is but I am certain it managed to get a tiger beetle. Will look up which later if no one id's. Only halfway decent photo I got before went into some grass.

The dahlia garden next to the Conservatory of Flowers was full of insect activity.
I went to take a photo of a skipper on a dahlia, but it was scared off by a combo of me + a lurking jumping spider! The spider had an already-caught bee-fly, but abandoned it temporarily for a chance at the skipper. I hung out nearby for a while and watched it suck all the juices out of the bee-fly until its abdomen was just a flattened husk. Another skipper came by but the spider missed that one as well.
Butterfly predation photos are the last 3. First one is the first skipper that came by, next 2 are the 2nd skipper.
