Myrmecophamy is one of the most common types of dietary conformity with predators. May include exploitation of ants, termites, or both. Although ants and termites share some traits, they are firmly related and have different defense mechanisms. Therefore, adapting ants and termites varies, especially with arthropod predators with the same body size as their victim. We examined the offender and defense of adapting to the Zodariidae Spider genus Repentancereported to be fed with termites. The revision of the state of the ancestral diamond termitophy for the genus, but revealed by metabarcoding analysis of only one of the four studies Repentance Species feed exclusively to termites. The remaining three species obtained two ants and termites. Interesting, laboratory observations in a class, Diores Poweireveals a similar method of attack attacks to get two termites and ants. Three bird species and a terminite were successfully obtained with similar frequency, but the arrest of Headermesm Termes are more efficient. The paralysis of Headermesm by D. Poweri approximately 20 times faster than a spider food in ant-food Zodarion Glossythat matches the differences in the venom composition between the species. The condition of D. Poweri resembled in size, shape, movement, and the color of its main victim, Under the spotted Ants, suggesting Mimicry in Batesian. However, modeling visual discrimination of potential lizard and bird predators reveal that Repentance can be distinguished from Camponotus. Our results suggest that Repentance Spiders specialize in the MYRMECO-Termeco-Thmitophagous predators, with effective adaptation and exploitation of ants for defense.
