The second one is a Ant-mimic Jumping Spider, Salticidae, looks like being a Myrmarachne sp. and could even be Myrmarachne plataleoides, the Kerangga Ant-mimic Jumping Spider, but I am not 100% sure, if the ID from this link is really correct: http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Asia/India/photo244036.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Myrmarachne-plataleoides.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmarachne_plataleoides http://melvynyeo.deviantart.com/art/Ant-mimic-Jumping-Spider-371623131
Oh, yes, I didn't notice that! Thanks, Cindy!
Welcome to Project Noah, VipnsNs. You have two different organisms here. bayucca gave you the ID for the first image. Please remove the second image and description and put it in a new spotting. There is more information about the site on our FAQ page: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq Thank you :)
Eurybrachyidae, Eurybrachys sp. and most probably Eurybrachis tomentosa. http://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/235992 http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=8859 https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31069156 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leafhopper_Eurybrachys_Tomentosa.jpg
