Caption
The results of the tests performed in this study revealed that individuals of the smaller beetle species were consumed and digested less often than their larger counterparts. Additional studies using R. attenuata with their legs experimentally removed revealed a jump in beetle consumption rate from 30% (control) to 85% (leg-amputated).
