An ant mimic and a beetle

The first two pictures are of an ant mimicking jumping spider, Synemosyna formica. These things are tiny, and so the picture was taken with the aid of a Raynox 150 on my macro lens. She was pretty cooperative, for a jumping spider, as she stayed on this leaf and was not really bothered by my attention. What was also interesting is that she had this little meal that she would put down, wander away from, and then pick up again.
The last picture is a flower longhorn beete (Analeptura lineola).
