Predator

There are moments that can be captured on camera and one of those was a shot of a black ant mimic jumping spider or Myrmarachne plataleoides with a prey.This really made my day on the trail in Kg Pertak near Kuala Kubu Baru. I spotted the spider with an insect in its mandible and lucky for me, it stayed really still.Usually, ant mimics are really active creatures that rarely gives you a good shot as it moves around a lot.

The Myrmarachne plataleoides is a fascinating creature.Called the ant mimic jumping spider, the arachnid has the likeness of an ant except that it
preys on the ant - blending perfectly into its natural environment.I managed to capture a male ant mimic on Friday while I was testing my new diffuser for
my Canon MR14EX ring flash.Since it has a long snout the only details I could highlight was its eyes which is green in colour.
