Another ant mimic

Yes, another ant-mimic jumping spider. Another first for me. Not seen this red and black type of ant-mimic jumping spider before.

Surely it's a mimicry of the <i>Tetraponera rufonigra ant</i>? That ant is also known as semut selangor, or MC Ant in Malaysia

...yes..there are people who intentionally get themselves bitten by the ants just to get a medical certificate so they can get a day off
