Solpugids are reported to be exclusively predatory arachnids with an extraordinary voracity. Several workers have recorded solpugids feeding until their abdomens were so distended that they could scarcely move (Hutton 1843, Pocock 1898, Turner 1916, Hingston 1925, Fichter 1940, Lawrence 1949, and Cloudsley-Thompson 1958). Prey capture, feeding activity, drinking, and food variety have also been recorded several times (Hutton 1843, Pocock 1898, Turner 1916, Hingston 1925, Fichter 1940, Lawrence 1949, Bolwig 1952, and Cloudsley-Thompson 19,58). These studies have been conducted on single specimens or species. The recorded feeding habits have been in general agreement but have varied in detail indicating a need for a systematic investigation of solpugid feeding. With this need in mind, a comparative study has been made on the feeding habits of two families, seven genera, and 18 species of North American solpugids.
