Hi @Pirom! Thanks for the sighting - have you uploaded another sighting for the smaller spider that the Oxyopid is preying on? Please feel free to as there is enough information there for me to ID that one too.

Great ID suggestion too, I will confirm this as Oxyopes sp to a genus level, as O. elegans and O. gracilipes are incredibly similar.
