Jumping spider with moth

This little jumping spider was hanging onto the much larger moth, with a fierce determination. This spider may be Pelegrina proterva, but I'm not really sure. When I first saw them, I thought they were a tiny bit of bird scat on the leaf. Only when I looked closely did I realize what I was seeing. This alone gives a hint as to how small they were.
