I`m not sure what was going on here but there was fluid and limbs all over the place.
Any idea what type of Spiders they are ? ... 
The little one started it by trying to sneak up on the big one.  |

No idea what species they are, but they look the same to me. I suspect that the little one is a male and he's amourous lol! He best be quick or he'll get devoured after the deed!  |

No i dont think there the same species - the little one looks like a Long Jawed Orb Weaver and the other one i`m not sure what type it is.
The little one lost the battle anyway and ended up as lunch  . |

It's not a Tetragnatha Action man - what you're seeing is the palps not the jaws.
Looks like a male and female Enoplognatha sp , probably ovata
Guess luck wasn't with him - he's only got 6 legs and has lost the seventh in the web, and was then eaten - not every spider eats their mate after copulation, if he even got that far.

You know whats strange about this ?, i found the male inside my house and placed it outside onto a Fuschia bush, where coincedentally there was a female, now i dident know this at the time until i watched the male for a while and it met up with the female, very strange indeed ... | | |
