Myrmarachne

Myrmarachne is a genus of jumping spiders known for their remarkable mimicry of ants. These spiders have body shapes, movements, and behaviors that resemble ants, which helps them avoid predators and ambush prey more effectively. Despite their ant-like appearance, they are true spiders with eight legs, excellent vision, and the ability to jump long distances. Found in various habitats worldwide, Myrmarachne spiders use their mimicry as both a defense strategy and a hunting tool, blending seamlessly into ant colonies and environments.
