Jumping Spider Ambushes an Ant (Naphrys Acerba or Naphrys Pulex)

Recorded this jumping spider in the front yard. The jumping spider was waiting by an entrance to an ant colony. The jumping spider actually let the ant come out all the way before pouncing on it. It caught me off guard because I had never seen a jumping spider eat an ant, they usually avoid them. I don't know what particular species of jumping spider this is, but it is the first I have ever seen eat an ant.
