Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In this work, we report the results obtained from the analysis of video footage regarding the predation of N. milleri on A. pallipes. It was a useful opportunity to observe some behavioral strategies. Skillful maneuvers by N. milleri, combined with toxic saliva, allow it to attack a large prey in relation to its size.
