      Very nice.

      Any critter that lives among green ants has my respect.

          Nice series - it all seems to come together well in #2 (numbering them helps in referring back to them), with the best/boldest eye contact.

          Great timing

            Yes , not a life I would envy.
            This one also eats the Greenants larvae, its found on the leaves in trees with Greenants. He has a a leg missing on each side, probably from battles with Greenants

            I read somewhere, these spiders have evolved to have a smell like Greenants, this enables them to go amongst the Greenants.Click image for larger version
