In my previous post I showed you a spider that carries something! Most respondents said that the spider carries an ant. But it is a small problem, the spider in the photo was smaller than an ant and what he carries is even smaller than the spider. At first glance, the creature resembles an ant, but at a closer look it is seen that there is a difference between an ant and that creature. The ant has three pairs of legs and this one had four pairs of feet. The way the feet are attached to the body is different. The abdomen of this creature is similar in shape to that of the ants but has some white spots like the spider’s. My conclusion is that the spider is carrying a smaller spider! The only dilemma I have is whether this is its baby or is another type of spider. That will remain a mystery!

Can you see the difference between this ant and the creature?
I feels like another species of spider …
Just my feeling … nice macro once again!
I knew it was a spider because of its white legs and how they bent next to the body. That ant photo is wonderful as well.
Looking more closely, I think it is the male. The butt is shaped the same way on the end, but his body isnt as wide as hers, but he still has the spots.
All I know about spiders is that the male is smaller than the female, and sometimes after mating the female can devour the male. Maybe that’s what happened here!?
I believe so, dinner time. Wonder how big they are just hatched. I wonder if you can you even see them?
Congratulations! It is indeed a spider! You’re among the few who have guessed this!
Great picture with mystery . thanks for shaking
Thank you, too! The mystery has been revealed!
I do not remember what my answer was. Probably a baby spider!!
Maybe you were among the 29% who said it was a spider! Congratulations!
You got us on this one – still a mystery LOL.
I hope you enjoyed this challenge!
So the spider was carrying an ant. How interesting.
It is not an ant! It is a smaller spider. As I said in a previous comment it could be its partner.
Oh ok, I get it now. It is hard to tell size with the macros. Great one!
I think I mentioned in my post that it is very small( about 3, 4 mm).
