Podisus with caterpillar and ant! - Podisus brevispinus
Shediac - Parlee Beach Provincial Park, Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada
September 18, 2014
This Podisus kept shaking this caterpillar which wasn't moving so I suspect it was trying to dislodge the ant which also seemed interested in the caterpillar. Perhaps the caterpillar is actually a sawfly larva?
