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

_Synageles_ sp.

A little Synageles ant-mimic jumping spider that has caught a small green seed bug nymph, seen in profile. Its large rear eyes, constricted abdomen, and markings make it look rather like a ant if you're not looking too closely.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.

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.

Looks like an partial ant on another ant, one of them being a parasite ...
