Entypus bituberculatus
(
Guérin-Méneville, 1838
)
Pompilus bituberculatus
Guérin-Méneville, 1838: 258
.
Entypus bituberculatus
was observed dragging the paralyzed wandering spider (
Ctenus ornatus
) backwards, grasping it with its mandibles at the base of the spider’s foreleg (Video 2). The spider had its dorsal side to the ground (
Figs 11–12
, Video 2). The ethological sequence we recorded for
E. bituberculatus
is represented by the formula VPT.
