Dear colleagues, could anybody indicate some photo or observation with Tephritid as a prey of predatory Arthropoda (fly, spider or whatever)? If not, is there any data that Tephritid are toxic? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

A Tephritid as prey of a spider is not unusual, I think. I have seen it more then once. Ben Ben Hamers attached the following image:  [177.29Kb] Edited by Ben Hamers on 22-09-2018 21:49 |

As mathematicians says: a counterexample is the best evidence!

Ben did not give species name, could I ask our community? And the spider name if possible. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
