User's notes

Whilst the ant was foraging on a tree trunk a spider emerged from beneath the bark and sunk its fangs into the spider's rear end. After a short struggle the ant sped off up the tree and disappeared beneath the bark with the spider still attached. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting of what was possibly a Swift spider.
