It looks like an ant.
I shook off me. I noticed threw spider web.

Bel documento!
E' un Salticidae mirmecomorfo: Synageles cfr dalmaticus.

Hi Umit, I'm not surre, but could be Synageles albotrimaculatus.

It could be so well

Hi friends,
Thank you very much for comment.
It seems to me that type; "Synageles albotrimaculatus"

What do you think? Should I change the title of that?

I wonder why it looks like ants. Have to steal the larvae of the ants' nest?
What can you say about the behavior of ants look like?

I don't think so. The myrmecomorphus look does not work with ants, that regulate their behavior influenced mainly by smell. Actually, no specific ant predator spider (Euryopis, Zodarion, Nomisia ....) is similar to an ant. It 's more likely that this mimicry is intended to predators of spiders (especially birds) which usually do not like to eat ants because of their sour taste.

Only some authorized members can change the title. I did it for you

Luigi, Many thanks for the information.



Thanks
