🐝 Astonishing Japan Ant Mimic Jumping Spider - Myrmarachne - Real Japan Monsters

🐝 At first glance this spider looks very similar to an ant. Jumping spiders of the genus Myrmarachne may imitate ants in both appearance and behavior. By mimicking an ant the spider might better avoid predators like spider wasps. Some ant mimic spiders may even prey on ants or the homopteran bugs they tend. Ants have three body segments while spiders have just two. Note how this spider's forward body segment has been adapted to give the overall body an appearance of three segments. Spiders like this also sometimes wave their front pair of legs giving the appearance of antenna. The spider's huge forward-facing eyes are a dead giveaway that it is a jumping spider. Jumping spiders (family Salticidae) have remarkable binocular vision which they use to locate, stalk and ambush prey. Though they are "jumping" spiders these spiders may only rarely engage in such non ant-like behavior. Ant-mimic jumping spiders are nevertheless very active and it was pure luck that I encountered this spider as it rested while feeding. In the past six years I have only encountered this type of spider a handful of time in the forests where I walk. This spider was encountered and filmed at an altitude of roughly 300 feet above sea-level within the confines of a Shinto (native religion of Japan) shrine on the outskirts of Shizuoka city. This area is within Shizuoka prefecture and relatively close to Mt. Fuji. The spider was filmed in late April.
