TL;DR: The ponerine ant Amblyopone silvestrii in nature and in the laboratory observation showed skillful hunting behavior which is highly specialized on large, linear-shaped soil arthropods.
Abstract: Eighty percent of the prey captured by the ponerine ant Amblyopone silvestrii in nature were geophilomorph centipedes. In the laboratory observation, this ant showed skillful hunting behavior which is highly specialized on large, linear-shaped soil arthropods. Specialization on centipedes, migratory behavior and hemolymph feeding are common in the members of the Amblyoponini and the Leptanillinae.
