i happened to find her (that was in fact my first encounter) on a cherry tree when i was capturing many black ants to feed my pet antlions.
since this is a member of jumping spiders, i think u can find one anywhere in vegetation areas (or perhaps in ur backyard).
it is so good at mimicking that u may not be able to notice it as a spider until it drops/jumps and dangles from a fine silk tether from its spinneret.
where do u find that specie???? i would love to have one

yeah.
they were thought to hunt ants in their disguise, but that is not the case.
btw, she found an aphid approaching but did not catch it at 4:20 of this clip.

Interesting, prefect ant actor.

thanks.
as you see, she was so antsy!
she often moves her forelegs up and down, mimicking ant's antennae.
