Description: I found these two spiders in my house on the wall. While taking pictures, the jumping spider jumped on the other spider (wall crab spider?). After a few seconds the larger spider started to curl up its legs, like when they die. So it was possibly bit by the jumping spider. Sorry about the bad quality, it was in a poorly lit room and my camera's battery died.

Description: I think it is Baryphas ahenus, but I am so unsure that I am not even going to venture a formal suggestion. It is certainly a jumping spider (Family Salticidae)and ahenus lives in Cape Town, and I think it has hairy paps...So I am opting for that. It's terribly cute.
