Synemosyna formica is a species of ant-mimicking jumping spider. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It is found in the eastern United States and parts of Canada. [5] The first pair of legs are elevated to imitate ant antennae, unlike other ant mimics such as the genus Synageles which use their second pair of legs. [6]
