Myrmarachne exasperans is a species of jumping spider found in southeast Asia. [1] The species which was originally described in Java has also been recorded in Borneo, Palawan (Philippines) Vietnam and Bali, where the largest number of individuals have been recorded. [2]
While most species in the genus Myrmarachne mimic ants, M. exasperans is believed to mimic a species of ichneumonid wasp of the genus Goryphus (possibly Goryphus basilaris). [3] Myrmarachne exasperans mimics the ichneumonid wasp in both appearance and behaviour, flicking its front legs and abdomen up and down to mimic the movement of the wasps antennae and wings. [4]
Myrmarachne exasperans nests can be found under medium and large leaves, particularly Heliconia, Ficus, Asplenium nidus and Hibiscus. [5] Unlike nests built by other species of Myrmarachne that comprise solely of silk, M. exasperans decorates the outer layer of its nest with detritus. [6]
