Antmimicking spiders
Scientific name: Myrmarachne


Description

Myrmarachne species are fascinating examples of evolutionary mimicry among arthropods, often resembling ants in their body shape and behavior. While they are actually spiders, their ant-like appearance and movements provide them a camouflage and help protect them from predators by blending into their surroundings. This adaptive strategy not only helps them in avoiding predators but also enables them to get closer to their prey, mostly true ants, which they imitate so perfectly.
