The mimics and the mimicked. Note how the spider and the beetle not only are reddish brown with black at posterior end but they both have two white perpendicular dashes that separate these colors. These white dashes probably make them look like they have a waist like the carpenter ant.
I observed these today on a hike at a local state park. Species names are in the alt tags.

This crab spider or Thomisus onustus has been waiting since yesterday on a pelargonium leaf in my garden for prey to come within reach. They are able to change their color to adapt to their environment, although this can take days.
Province of Alicante, Spain.

Esta araña cangrejo o Thomisus onustus espera desde ayer en una hoja de pelargonium de mi jardín a que una presa se ponga a su alcance.

Found a large friend today.

This is a real ladybug. Ultimately my intention is not to make a more or less detailed photo, but to make the image composition and color contrast attractive. A seven-spotted ladybug (coccinella septempunctata) has just landed on a Ruellia simplex (petunia) leaf.

Esto si que es una mariquita. Ultimamente mi intención no es hacer una foto más o menos detallada, sino que la composición de la imagen y contraste de colores sean atractivos. Una mariquita de siete puntos (coccinella septempunctata) acaba de aterrizar sobre una hoja de Ruellia simplex (petunia).

Dies ist ein echter Marienkäfer. Letztendlich geht es mir nicht darum, ein mehr oder weniger detailliertes Bild zu machen, sondern darum, den Bildaufbau und den Farbkontrast attraktiv zu gestalten. Ein Siebenpunkt-Marienkäfer (Coccinella septempunctata) ist gerade auf einem Blatt der Ruellia simplex (Petunie) gelandet.

It is not a ladybug. From what I have read, from the length of its front legs it should be a Lachnaia vicina, a beetle that feeds on many types of plants.

No es una mariquita. Por lo que he leído, por la longitud de sus patas delanteras debiera ser una Lachnaia vicina, escarabajo que se alimenta de muchos tipos de plantas.

Es handelt sich nicht um einen Marienkäfer. Nach dem, was ich gelesen habe, müsste es sich aufgrund der Länge seiner Vorderbeine um einen Lachnaia vicina handeln, einen Käfer, der sich von vielen Pflanzenarten ernährt.

Visitor to my friend’s coat today at Tayport - a two banded long horn beetle (according to iNaturalist). It was very pretty and happy to hang around for a bit.
