- Observation Predators attacked on average one to four mealybugs depending on prey number and plant size.
- Intervention effect Plant color had no effect on predator attack rates or searching behavior.
- Association Attack rates were positively related to prey density.
- Association Predator area searched was inversely related to prey density.
- Observation Most predator attacks occurred on the placement leaf or a nearby leaf.
- Observation Predators without an attack spent more time stationary.
- Observation Predators adopted area-restricted search after encountering and feeding on prey.
- Association Predators fed few prey had decreased body weight and survival.
- Mechanism Low attack rates at low prey density may reduce predator survival and reproduction in field situations.
