#Arachtober 31: handsome little ice cream sandwich boi (male _Hentzia palmarum_ jumping spider) spotted back in August.
Damn, posting every day feels like way more work than it should. Anyway back to slightly less frequent arachnid posts tomorrow…

It's still #Arachtober 24 somewhere: a tiny, curious zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_). It even gave me a little head tilt. WARNING: very high levels of cute

Dealing with a lot of real-life Stuff but I had a few minutes in the garden yesterday and this little _Synageles_ ant-mimic jumping spider cheered me up.

#DailySpiderPic: "Well, this is awkward…" An ant-mimic jumping spider (_Synageles_) crosses paths with a _Prenolepis imparis_ ant. Its disguise is meant to put off potential predators that won't mess with ants—but the ants themselves rely more on chemical cues and aren't fooled. I saw a couple of _Synageles_ on this planter and they both carefully avoided the ants.

The ant _Prenolepis imparis_ and the jumping spider _Synageles_, on milkweed.
I don't think _P. imparis_ is the "model" for this spider, but they do look pretty similar—especially when they're both moving fast. It's very easy to mistake _Synageles_ for an ant.
