  1. Forgive the subpar photos but I just saw an ant-mimic jumping spider (_Synageles_) investigating a crevice in a wrought-iron fence post. Antennae twitched within. The hole was already occupied by a carpenter ant (_Camponotus_ cf. _novaeboracensis_?) who did not buy the spider's disguise one bit. The last pic is the Synageles looking at me like "Did you just see that?!" It was too funny.

  5. The Aphantochilus crab spider mimics the color, shape, size, and texture of the turtle ants it preys upon. Ecuador.

  10. I wouldn’t say this was aesthetically a standout photo as such, but the insect- a katydid that mimics an ant- is so amazing that I’m including it anyway. Victoria, Australia.
