HI... was at AP this morning. Near the end of shoot, I notice this 'ANT' on large leaf. Look alot like one of those 'Finger Print' ants we see so often.... I was bored, and decided to take a photo..... only then did I notice that its mouth/jaw is very difference from those of Ants. A closer look will show that its multi eye.... I've heard of such a spider before.... minic themselves as Ant.... but do anyone knows what is its common NAME... thxs

Look like a Ant....

Many eyes....

Having Breakfast....

Haha....sgfreestyler wasn't joking when he provided you the ID. It is really called a Giant Ant-Like Jumper or simply a Ant mimicking Jumping Spider. Its quite commonly found in Singapore but many don't notice it because it looks like an ant. Nice catch
