Extract

In a general way, the ambushing habits and preying adaptations of Phymatidae are familiar to all entomologists. Yet, as shown by the bionomic summary for this family included by Readio (27) in his paper on the feeding methods and life history of Phymata erosa fasciata (Gray) at Lawrence, Kansas, only a handful of food records have appeared in the literature, and studies of the conditions surrounding the preying process in nature are lacking entirely.
