This is the first time I have seen a jumping spider that mimics a small black ant.

It is eating one of the Dolichopodid flies.

A first time is always exciting!

What do you mean by it mimics an ant?

This is the larva of the largest mosquito in the world.

Toxorhynchites speciosus. The mosquito is harmless to humans. It does not suck blood. The larva eats other mosquito larva.

A very interesting structure. What is the larva resting on?
