Callilepis imbecillaObserver
richDescription
This male was captured so that I could examine his palp. Note that he had lost his front two legs (before capture) its tough to be a little ant eater! ... or maybe he had a fight?

Callilepis imbecillaObserver
richDescription
This female was captured so that I could examine her epigynum. Note the loss of 2 legs, that happened before I captured her. I think that being an ant predator is very risky, and she may have lost the legs in a scuffle.
