yet another ant mimic jumping spider from Singapore: here’s Bocus angusticollis with its huge, flattened chelicerae (fangs) that resemble the broad head of an ant. not only does it look just like an ant, but it “antenna”-flicks and walks like one too! when it briefly glances at a passing oribatid mite or small beetle, however, it breaks the illusion; most ants don’t have binocular vision or at least don’t use their eyes like that.

this one is special to me since there’s only one other iNaturalist observation of it, from the exact location where I’d seen it a year before! wish I’d gotten a better photo of it too, but it leapt away from me before I could

my favourite visitor to the pond is this beautiful Australian Hornet (Abispa ephippium). she regularly comes to the pond to drink, and luckily isnt too camera-shy!

despite being called a hornet, A. ephippium is actually a species of potter wasp. as such, she is a solitary creature who spends her time building mud-nests to house her larvae, and hunting caterpillars with which to feed them. as an adult, she is a pollinator who feeds on flower nectar.

she is about 30mm (1.2in) in length, but deft enough to carefully land on top of the water without breaking the surface tension (so far she is the biggest insect I've seen thats able to do this). its an amazing behaviour from both an entomologic and photographic perspective, these photos are some of my favourites <3
