Myrmarachne sp. Family: Salticidae
Myrmarachne is a genus of jumping spiders which imitate an ant by waving their front legs in the air to simulate antennae. Some species also look strikingly like ants. Spiders in this genus are commonly called antmimicking spiders, although there are many other spiders that mimic ants. The genus name is a combination of Ancient Greek myrmex "ant" and arachne "spider".
