The Jumping-spider record at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/241642594 (see photo below) has been identified as being possibly Phlegra lineata or (unlikely) Phlegra theseusi. Information about these species is difficult to find online, and the following links are relevant.

Inaturalist:

• P. lineata anywhere (5 records) and records mentioning P. lineata in the Notes (including this record): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=157993&q=lineata

I have posted observations of 4 different kinds of ant which I saw in a small area of the buildings and roadways at a hotel in eastern Crete between 9 and 14 September 2024: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?d1=2024-09-09&d2=2024-09-14&place_id=7094&taxon_id=47336&user_id=cf125. The smallest were Genus Lepisiota and the largest were Genus Campinotus. The others were Genus Tapinoma and Complex Pheidole pallidula
Most interesting were two different species which I saw at 14.56 and then 4 hours later that day at 18.25, feeding on what I think was the same body of a dead bee (probably Amegilla). (Both photos were taken in exactly the same location.)
