Slender Ant-mimic Jumping Spider (Synemosyna formica)Observer
jfrodgeDescription
This appeared to be an ant mimic spider, perhaps saltacid based on it's behavior and large pedipalps. I thought it was an ant until I brushed it off and watched it spin web to moderate its fall. Fascinated, I confirmed that it was indeed doing this and on closer inspection counted eight legs and saw the large pedipalps. Please help me ID.
