Just thinking about the Amyciaea crab spider. I don't generally think of spiders as evil, but this thing is an empathy predator. It lurks alongside weaver ant colonies, pretending to be an injured ant, and when gullible ants go to help out what they think is their sister, they get eaten.

Haven't posted for #Arachtober yet so here's a weird one: my first hooded tick-spider! Neither a tick nor a spider, it's a member of the order #Ricinulei, small predators only found in Africa & Americas. Thanks to Sangjin Han for collecting this one. Next time I'm in Costa Rica I want to find more!
