UP CLOSE with NATURE

Is Jesus Christ the answer to your questions?

The weaver ant (Oecophylla smaragdina) is a very aggressive insect renowned for its excruciating bite. It serves as a good model for the jumping spider Myrmarachne plataleoides. This ant (picture) takes up a characteristic posture, rearing up with its jaws or mandibles wide apart, ready to bite. The weaver ant is not only mimicked by M. plataleoides but also by the crab spider Amyciaea lineatipes.
