Does anyone have any papers discussing Pepsis predation, spider recovery from predation, etc on theraphosid spiders if so is there any chance of some PDF,s, also are there any papers discussing where Pepsis/Pompilid hide thier prey prior to putting them in the burrow.

Regards

Ray

Ray,

We've had sort of a famous tarantula which was found after being stung, and nursed back to health which has been well documented on the ATS discussion board. As for academic works, I don't have any on my desk, per se, but if you need a hand laying hands on .pdf's let me know.
