Sorry Mr Spider, I saw through your disguise! Better luck next time! This little buddy was a bit too attentive for being an ant! He observed me and moved when I moved. When I zoomed in on the pictures I saw the significant eyes of a jumping spider...
Mango tree, about 175 cm above the ground! He had a favourite leaf in the tree! Semi-urban area in the small town of Caia, Mozambique. Rain season just started.

Wow! Nice mimicry!
I am happy you liked this little rascal, PurpleScarf and Leonardo.
Sintija, I am sure they will remember a strange mulungo (white person) that wandered around amont the trees and bushes taking picture of "nothing"... haha
Wow a cool spotting !
Fabulous!! Thanks for sharing, Tiz! Peculiar story... :)
maybe one day they will understand and then remember about you and your drawings :D :)
hahaha, ehm... haha, nah! That would put a shame over all living ants and spiders, and I actually dont think that they understood. A cross over the ant and pointing to the spider, and then to the ant.... It is not easy to understand that! haha
I agree with Jemma, that would be great! ;)
you should have included a picture of your artwork.
:D and they understood? :)
They are really cool! But my tries to explain to the people around me what I was taking so many pictures of in Portugues was very poor! I ended up drawing a spider and an ant in the sand... haha!
I've also seen one in my lifetime (different species), they're pretty amazing :)
Nice spotting!
