When it looks and walks like an ant.

Fiona R Cross1,2, Robert R Jackson3,4.   

Abstract

Some jumping spiders (family Salticidae) bear a striking resemblance to ants, a dangerous type of prey, both in terms of their appearance and in terms of how they move. Recent research has taken important steps toward determining whether predators categorize these spiders as ants on the basis of the way they move.
