"Oh, an ant captured a seed bug—oh, wait"

_Synageles_ sp.

The spider facing more towards the camera, showing its distinctively salticid pair of large front-facing eyes. Its "antennae" held out waving in front of it are a pair of legs with clear/white sections that make them seem thinner and shorter than they really are.

The Aphantochilus crab spider mimics the color, shape, size, and texture of the turtle ants it preys upon. Ecuador.

Inside a brown, curled up leaf sits a black antlike spider with downturned horns at the sides of its head.

I wouldn’t say this was aesthetically a standout photo as such, but the insect- a katydid that mimics an ant- is so amazing that I’m including it anyway. Victoria, Australia.
