Spider, Amyciiva lincatipcs; Keringa Ant, (Ecophylla stitaragdina ; and Cater- 

 pillar. The posterior ends of spider and caterpillar bear eye-like spots, 

 and superficially resemble the head of the ant. The likeness is strengthened 

 by the movements of the insects, which live near the ant. The latter is 

 shown using one of its larvaj as a kind of sewing-machine to spin together 

 the leaves of its nest. (From the author's drawings of the mimics, prob- 

 ably from Singapore, of the ant, after Dr. D. Sharp, Insects Pt. II., 1899,
