Ant Mimic Jumping Spider

Myrmarachne plataleoides
Singapore, July 2013

Myrmarachne is a great word. It aptly describes what this spider is doing: making itself look like a red weaver ant. In fact, the spider is so successful in its disguise that when Bay is out taking pictures of the species, people often ask him why he's photographing a common ant.
