Ant Mimic Jumper (Myrmarachne sp)

Ant Mimic Jumping Spider (Myrmarachne sp.)

One of nature's most fascinating illusionists — the Ant Mimic Jumping Spider has evolved to look and move almost exactly like an ant, complete with false "antennae" formed by its front legs. Despite the disguise, it's a true jumping spider at heart: curious, alert, and full of personality.

A captivating species for experienced invertebrate keepers who appreciate the unusual. Available as male or female.
