Abstract
We examined the predation of two synanthropic jumping spiders, Hasarius adansoni (Araneae: Salticidae) and Plexippus paykulli (Araneae: Salticidae), on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coletptera: Tenebrionidae), a grain storage pest, that is sometimes found with these species to determine whether the predatory success of synanthropic and grassland jumping spiders on T. castaneum differs. We examined the predation of two synanthropic and three grassland jumping spiders on T. castaneum adults and larvae. We found that the two synanthropic species preyed on T. castaneum adults and larvae, while the three grassland species never attacked T. castaneum adults. The success or failure of predation on T. castaneum adults also depended on the body size of the jumping spiders.
