几种蜘蛛类群专门捕食蚂蚁。一些种类的Zodariidae已知使用专门的策略来捕捉蚂蚁。在这项研究中，我评估的饮食差异和捕食行为的日本zodariid Asceua japonica。在一系列的调查中，所有观察到的个人在外地捕食微小的树栖蚂蚁代表几个亚科。此外，该物种使用类似于其欧洲亲戚捕食蚂蚁的策略。这是东亚地区首次发现的啮小虫。
Several spider taxa are specialized to prey on ants. Some species of Zodariidae are known to use specialized tactics to capture ants. In this study, I assessed the diet difference and predatory behavior of the Japanese zodariid Asceua japonica. In a series of surveys, all observed individuals in the field preyed on tiny arboreal ants representing several subfamilies. In addition, the species used tactics similar to those of its European relatives for preying on ants. This is the first observation of myrmecophagy of Zodariidae in East Asia.
