Disguse-Need ID

blacksmith

This guy like an ant when I first look, but I suddenly recognized some differences between them, get close to this guy and I saw:

1. A long nose



2. The attena are under neath



3. With the eyes of spider's



4.



I really don't know the ID of this guy, hope you can tell me his ID. Thank you for your time.

Cheers

Lovely captures - it's an ant- mimicking jumping spider.

Yes, I believe Brian is right (as usual ).

I suspect that in particular it is the male Myrmarachne Plataleoides:

Very nice captures of a fairly odd creature.

Why are we finding aliens in space when they are already here at distance of camera and Macro lens.
Great photography

What an unusual creature. I've seen jumpers but never an Ant mimicking jumper. Superb shots of a very unusual beastie

These shots are amazing, I have never seen one of these before.
The head on this Ant in the #3rd and #4th shots looks exactly like a Jumping Spider, what an odd little critter that is.

Excellent find and shots .... Skippy
