It is very interesting. It might be a type of spider called an ant mimic. They live among ants because many animals don’t like to eat ants. These spiders may eat some of the ants they spend time with. That’s all I know about them from memory. I’ll try to find more information for you when I have the time. If you find the answer first please tell us.
I am hoping that it is a new species. I look forward to hearing from you.
