Ant-mimicking Spider

Nagerhole, Karnataka, 23 Apr 2006

This is the Ant-mimicing spider. Though it looks like an ant, if you look closely, you will notice that it actually has more then one pair of eyes. It's a spider which made itself look like an ant. Infact it always keeps its front legs in the air to make them look like ant's antina. This spider even smells like an ant, using which this ant slips into ant's nest without detection.
