Pirate Spider
Pirate spiders, members of the family (biology), family Mimetidae, are Araneomorphae, araneomorph spiders which typically feed on other spiders. The family (biology), family Mimetidae contains roughly 200 species divided among 12 genus, genera, of which ''Mimetus'' and ''Ero'' are the most common.
