This spider looks very similar to an ant; it's rare in Hangzhou, have you ever encountered it?
Sometimes ecological photography can be a very interesting thing: through telephoto lenses, you can capture moments that pass by in an instant; through macro lenses, you can magnify the world we can see but cannot see clearly. This ant spider is like that, although there are some in Hangzhou's 'deep mountains and old forests,' but because it's small, I believe few people have ever seen its true appearance.
I encountered them in Halfway Park in Hangzhou, right on the large leaves of what is called 'beauty love flowers.' Because ant spiders are very sensitive to the environment, if a person touches the leaf, it will be startled and 'jump' away, so it's considered relatively difficult for macro photography,
At that time, there were two male ant spiders 'arguing' with each other, making a 'chirp' sound, which caught my attention. Through observation and post-analysis, it was probably about territory, with the chelicerae and mandibles rubbing together. As for the female ant spider, I didn't find it, and I don't know where it was hiding,
Although ant spiders look a little 'fierce,' they actually only have 'mild venom' (most insects have it), if we are bitten in the wild, we don't need to panic, in normal circumstances, just apply some medicine,
Macro photography enthusiasts must have photographed spider's big eyes, ant spider is in the same family as it, so it also has,
Ant spiders mainly eat ants and other small insects, it's a typical representative of mimicry in the insect world. Similar to ants, it also protects itself (because ants have strong jaws and formic acid, and also strong social defense capabilities, so many predators like birds and predatory insects and spiders not only don't eat but also avoid ants), and it also helps it hunt,
The interesting natural world, interesting creatures abound, insects are one of the most diverse species, friends who like it can follow me
