Fine-scale analysis of an assassin bug's behaviour: predatory strategies to bypass the sensory systems of prey [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Some predators sidestep environments that render them conspicuous to the sensory systems of prey. However, these challenging environments are unavoidable for certain predators. Stenolemus giraffa is an assassin bug that feeds on web-building spiders; the

Pedicellar structures in Reduviidae (Heteroptera) - comments on cave organ and trichobothria
European Journal of Entomology, 2003 Sensillar structures of the antennal pedicel are investigated in Reduviidae and Pachynomidae. The cave organ, a presumably chemoreceptive structure, previously reported only for haematophagous Triatominae, is described here also for representatives of ...
