Myrmarachne melanotarsa the dark-footed ant-spider is an African jumping spider found around Lake Victoria in Africa. Like other spiders in the genus Myrmarachne these spiders mimic ants in this case ants of the Crematogaster genus. However they are unusual in that they exhibit some form of social behavior forming clusters of silk nests on fig and other trees.
