Araneophagic behaviors (A, B), predatory strategies (C–F), and rows of raptorial spines of mimetid spiders (A, F) A. Mimetus spp. has attacked and killed another spider of the family Araneidae; B. Mimetidae spp., feeding on an immature spider of an unknown family; C. Mimetidae spp. assaulting the web of a spider of genus Cyclosa; D. Mimetid at the end of a lunge toward and capture of a spider.
