Ant-mimic Jumping Spider

Found on foliage, tree bark, garden walls, and sunny surfaces in temperate and tropical regions.

Carnivorous; preys on small insects like flies, aphids, and occasionally ants.

Mimics the physical appearance and movement of ants to avoid predators and deceive prey. Highly active hunters with excellent eyesight, moving in jerky, ant-like motions.

Harmless to humans. Beneficial to the ecosystem as a natural predator of pest insects in gardens.
