    Quite amazing! Does this insect paralyze its victims with venom?

    Quite amazing! Does this insect paralyze its victims with venom?
    In a recent study, Tel Aviv University researchers found that a species of ground beetle can paralyze and kill amphibians many times its size.
    The scientists observed the Epomis beetle sharing a habitat with the amphibians during the day, only to launch a stealth attack on their prey during the night.
    According to the study, the beetle begins by biting its prey in the back, sending the amphibian into violent spasms as a last ditch attempt to throw the beetle off. The incision paralyzes the prey within a few minutes, allowing the beetle to spend several hours slowly devouring its meal from the legs up.

    Centipede venom is quite potent and immobilizes fairly quickly. It's prey vs. predator, nothing new, centipedes have to eat too.

    It would be pray versus predator if the guy wasn't assisting centipede with the feather and terrarium wasn't so small.
