Ant mimics are so fascinating to me

My first encounter with one was watching an ant inspecting the table where I was having breakfast. After a few minutes it went to the edge of the table then lowered itself down on a web! What the hey? I got it on my hand and stared, close inspection. The front legs of the spider perfectly emulated an ant's antenna. Only the slight difference between head and thorax connection was a give away.
