ZZ057 Opisthoncus ZZ062 Opisthoncus ZZ050 Opisthoncus ZZ050 Genus Plexippus . P lexippus valipus was found under the bark of a tree near Brisbie Island. The spider was hidden beneath a sheet of silk. I placed all these species in this genus because of their resemblance. Myrmarachne Myrmarachne striatipes or Ant mimicking spider.
Several spiders mimic other insects.
As is the case with most spiders that mimic ants, the color of the spider is almost the same as the ant it mimics. Also it abdomen has often an slight constriction to mimic the three segment of an ant. These spiders mix freely with ants, and feed on them when a single ant gets away from the others. These spiders resemble Pystira orbiculata . They all have a white line around the abdomen and a white dot on the middle of it.
