Ant-Mimicking Salticid - Peckhamia
Copyright © 2009 Opo Terser

Ant-Mimicking Salticid - Peckhamia
Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma, USA
May 10, 2009
Size: ~4-5mm (?)
Almost the only way to tell this little one apart from an ant - the eyes of a jumper!

Interesting little ant-mimic found on the back porch.

There are quite a few out there now, some a bit more robust than others.

Could he/she be Peckhamia?
