An Ant-like Jumping Spider, Toxeus maxillosus, spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 16 July 2023. At first glance, it looks like a black ant, waving its front pair of legs like antennas. But I've learned to watch out for such mimics.

On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/173173936 ]

Spiders like these mimic ants to fool predators, or to fool the ants themselves so they can feed on unwary ants.
