Figure 2. Predation of Collembola by Pyramica benten. (A) Worker carrying a prey collembolan (Entomobrya pulcherrima) hunted by seizing around its mouthparts. Photographed in the field (Tetsugakudo, Tokyo). Worker body length is about 2 mm. (B) Collembolan body regions seized by P. benten foragers observed when they retrieved the prey to their nests.

Moreover, 14 of those 39 captures were certainly made at the circumference of their mouthparts.
