Myrmarachne formicaria is a species of jumping spider (family Salticidae).[1] It mimics an ant. It is one of the few species in the genus Myrmarachne that is found outside the tropics.

Name

The species name formicaria means "ant-like" in Latin[citation needed] coming from combining the Latin noun "formica" which means ant [2] and the Latin suffix "-aria" which is commonly used in scientific naming conventions to denote biological genera and groups [3]

Distribution

M. formicaria has a palearctic distribution and has been introduced to the United States.[1] It was first recorded in the United States on 16 August 2001 in Trumbull County, Ohio. Since then, it has spread to Pennsylvania and New York.[4]
