Abstract

GONZALEZ, Macario; SOSA-BARTUANO, Ángel  and  MONGE-NAJERA, Julián. A velvet worm (Onychophora: Peripatidae) feeding on a free ranging spider in Sierra Llorona, Panama. Cuadernos de Investigación UNED [online]. 2018, vol.10, n.2, pp.283-284. ISSN 1659-4266.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/urj.v10i2.2159.

Onychophoran worms seldom attack spiders because spiders are agile and dangerous prey. Here we report an onychophoran feeding on a spider (possibly a Ctenidae) in Sierra Llorona, Colón, Panamá (9, 35863°-79,70287°; altitude 491 m).

Keywords : Neotropical invertebrates; adhesive net; private reserve; tropical rainforest.
