Well, bayucca, then I arrived and removed the ID that Janine had given me.

Yes, I saw that as well, but that one is probably not Paraphidippus aurantia. I have tried to find out more already, but did not find any reasonable match. Mark, your recent fly was definitely an easier one ;-)...

Sergio possibly had one 14 moths ago - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/149...

I am a little bit sceptic about Paraphidippus aurantius. This is mostly an US and Cnetral American species and probably not found in Brazil. I did not find any report of it from there. So maybe it is another one.

I believe it's in relation to the sweat bee that it appears to mimic.

Thanks for the ID and your comment, Smith Zoo.

Thank you, dear Janine Turner. I do not understand why the name 'mimic'.

Very nice series Sckel. I believe this to be some kind of jumping spider.
