When one looks at the insect websites, it's striking how nice this is compared to what they post on many spider identification sites. It's good photography, here. You have red-eye in the large front pair. And you seem to have picked up refractions of the leaf's color in the somewhat translucent limbs, very much like an ant.
It seems these critters, in general, are everywhere, this Salticid family of spiders. It appears that all the spiders in my macro gallery are this type. You see these in many macro galleries here on Usefilm. And apparently the ant-mimicking spider is the same, as genus - Myrmarachne. These seem to be fairly local to S. Africa, though they are found worldwide. Some run with the ants but don't hunt them. Others do. There's a site found by "][Myrmarachne sp.", which has more info.

Brilliant work, once again, Joggie.
I never cease to be impressed with your macro work, it really is top notch!
Thanks for your comment on my 'Reflected tree?' pic ~ Psalm 23 would have been a nice thing to include in my 'about'.
Best regards, Chris

Keep up the good work and help to protect nature.

Remarkable capture! Hard to believe you blasted this critter with fill-in flash and it didn't dart off. . .I would have thought flash of any kind would have whited out something so small.
