Ant mimic Jumping Spider

Araneae; Salticidae; Salticinae; Myrmarachnini
Ant-mimic Spider Common Name: Ant-mimic Jumping Spider Scientific Name: Salticidae (Family) Size: 10mm Location: Dam side, Pokhara, Nepal Spotting mimic spiders are very hard and I had my first look at a mimic spider inside dense jungle at Rautahat. Fairly small and certainly got the mimicry dialed it certainly had its purposed stated out. The reason behind the mimicry is both as a defense against the ants and also to get to the larva of the ants.
