Myrmarachne plataleoides
An arachnologist who studied M. plataleoides on Mount Mikiling in the Philippines says, the huge chelicerae do not make the male spiders any less ant-like. According to him, the male’s appearance resembles a larger weaver ant carrying a smaller one (in its mouth) - source: http://members.fortunecity.com/chinfahsh...
