^aA finer taxonomic classification of early stages could not be achieved in this taxon.

N Total is the mean and standard deviation of the No. of prey captured by paralarvae from 2013 to 2016. EA and IA are the mean percentages (±sd) of effective attacks and ineffective attacks per prey type, respectively. The length (L) and the width (W) of prey are given in millimeters.
