  • Capture success in pit-building Antlion Euroleon nostras (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785) (Neuroptera Myrmeleontidiae) depends on the presence of pits, sand particle size and transmission of vibratory signals : a mini review
    Devetak, Dušan ...
    Antilon larvae build inverted conical pits on the sand surface to capture their prey. This review examines the role of the pits, sand particle size and transmission of vibratory signals in prey ... capture behaviour of Euroleon nostras. First the effect of the pits on the prey escape-time and on the number of escaped ants is discussed. Then the role of sands with different particle sizes is presented. The number of pits and the pit diameter depend on substrates with a certain particle size. The most convenient substrate for prey capture and the pit formation is sand with particle size of 0.23-0.54 mm. Finally biophysical properties of vibrations produced during locomotion of prey animals are evaluated. Characteristics for these signals are low intensities, acceleration values around ▫$ 1 mm/s^2$▫, and frequencies up to 4.5 kHz.
