Thanks guys. Makes you wonder how many times you've actually seen one and thought it was just another ant, hey.
Yeah, Paul. The front legs and way they hold them is to mimic the ant's antennae. Also its body colourings - spiders just have a head and an abdomen, while ants have a head, thorax, and abdomen. See on the second shot there's a white bit that makes it kind of look like the head is 2 tagmata (head and thorax) like an ant? Amazing. That, plus the black shiny external - perfect disguise.
