Count the legs! 2, 4, 6... 8?
Yes, 8 legs! This is not an ant, it's an ant-mimic spider! We saw this spider on a midnight hike, waving its front legs like antennae. Simply amazing! The constrictions on the cephalothorax look remarkably like the thorax of an ant.
This is a female Myrmecium sp. (Araneae: Corinnidae)

Dear DLLavaneras, my name is David F. Candiani, I'm Biologist and in the year of 2012 I defended my PhD. in the phylogeny of Myrmecium (Araneae: Corinnidae) at Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi (state of Pará, Brazil) , this year I pretend to submit my manuscript to Zootaxa journal, and, passing through the internet, I saw this photo here in DevianArt, I was thinking if you can permit the non-commercial use, so I'd like to ask you if I can use your photo of Myrmecium (with credits of course).
thaks in advance
David
