Myrmaplata Plataleoides - Red Weaver-ant Mimicking Jumper -Jumping Spider - Animal India
A male Red Weaver-Ant Mimic Jumper (Myrmaplata plataleoides) is seen crawling on a leaf in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 24, 2025. This jumping spider species closely resembles the Asian weaver ant (Oecophylla smaragdina) in both appearance and behavior, mimicking the ant's movements as a form of deception.
