Among the most important Coleopteran prey are Carabidae (Calosoma sycophanta, first photograph) and Carabics
(next photograph). Coleopteran mandibles are often characteristics at the family level. The third photograph
represents a mandible of a Staphylinidae (Ocypus olens).
The other photographs (at the bottom, from left to right) represent, respectively, a chelicera (Lycosa narbonnensis),
a forcipule (Scolopendra cingulata), the mandible of an Anisoptera and the mandible of a Lepidoptera Larva.
Each line represents 2mm in length
