The first and second stages of the investigated spider consumed the greatest number of the prey species Aphis spp < /em>., and Larvae in their first three instars Spodopetra littorali (Boisd.),  In contrast, the third and fourth spiderling instars, which dined on the first through third instars of S. littoralis and larvae of Galleria mellonella (Linn.).  Spider individuals fed on various phases of larvae and adults of spiderlings from fifth instars to adulthood of S. littoralis and larvae of G. mellonella.
