Ant-Like Spider Species

I recently found another good place for hunting in my school: The garden at the front itself. It is a rather small garden, about as big as a living room in a house, but has a variety of plants. I was wandering around the garden while waiting for my CCA to start. As I walked I looked closely at the Lime Plant and noticed an 'Ant'. But upon taking a closer look I realized that it was not an ant but an Ant-Mimic Spider! I moved my camera in to take a close shot of it.

It was originally resting but my oft flash seemed to have disturbed it, and hence it moved a little in its tiny silk-weaven web.

Soon after photographing the spider, I looked under almost every single leaf of the Lime Plant. While I was searching, I came across two individuals together hiding under a leaf. One was under its thick silk web and the oher was outside, waiting to do some services. Well at least thats what I think. I had to try many times to get a clear shot of them as it was rather shaky, there was heavy wind at the time.

After taking my first shot I realized that there was something else in the web. It could be another spider of the same kind, or a prey that they had caught. Look carefully and you should be able to notice the dark creature inside.

Soon I managed to find a few more of these Ant-Like Spiders on the very Lime Plant itself. But as I was about to leave, I spotted another spider, this particular one also looking very similar to an ant. But it did not belong to the smae species as that of the previous ones I encountered, as it looked much different and had different colours. Luckily I did manages to get a few shots of it.

This individual was the only one of the kind that I spotted. I really admired this creature as to how similar it is to ants in appearance. After observing it for quite a while, I noticed that it had something in its mouth. It had caught a small fly or mosquito. I wanted to get a clearer shot so I tried shooting it again. It nearly fleed but I still managed to shoot it.

It was an awesome experience. Later after telling my seniours about these sightings, I brought them to the gaden and showed them some of the common ones. But I could not find the other species no matter how long I stayed and searched. But I've got photographs, thats good enough for evidence!
