P6210153 100 crop

I believe it was a flying ant and it seemed to be scurrying along with egg cases. Very hard to follow and keep in focus. Not a great shot, but I was very interested in seeing what it was carrying. Update: Guess it wasn't a flying ant...see ID below. Now that I've looked at this image a bit more closely it looks like the prey was some sort of spider.
