Sequence of Behaviors to Locate and Consume Prey

The sequence of behaviors used by predators to locate prey is similar to that for parasitoids. In general, the behaviors are not as clearly defined for predators as for insect parasitoids because of the difference between predators and parasitoids.

• Prey Habitat Location
  
  
• Prey Location
  
  
• Prey Acceptance
  
  
• Prey Suitability
  
  
• Predictability of Prey Specificity
