They live along with the colony of ants but usually avoid close confrontation, because the naturally aggressive weaver ants would attack and kill them if they identify these spiders as intruders. Even though many species of ant mimic spiders prey on ants using this mimicry, this species (Myrmarachne plataleoides) uses the resemblance as a protection against predators , as the weaver ants are pungent to taste and unlikely to become food for larger predators. via 500px http://ift.tt/1uCjG8x
