Jumping spiders of the genus Myrmarachne have a long pedicel ( waist ) and an elongated cephalothorax with a constriction dividing the higher cephalic region from the lower thoracic part, thus achieving an effective simulation of the three-part body (head-thorax-abdomen) of an ant. In some cases, the abdomen is also constricted. This male ant jumper measures about 10mm from front of chelicerae to the end of abdomen. Its is also known as Ant-Mimicking Jumpers.
