Looks like an Ant

This little fellow came in with the washing so I set him up on a twig and got a few shots. When I first saw him I thought he was an ant till I had a closer look with a magnifying glass

Cool. I wonder how closely it resembles what it hunts because it certainly looks like an ant.

Very nice clear shots. Interesting little critter as well.

From what I have found out it resembles an ant so it doesn't become prey to its own predators. It is not resembling it's prey.
