Predation experiments using Gerris (A) spinolae, Laccotrephes griseus and Gambusia affinis were conducted against IV stage culicine larvae with varying prey densities. Ranking of individual predatory efficiency showed the sequence: large Gambusia > medium Gambusia > small Gambusia > female Laccotrephes > male Laccotrephes > Gerris. Predation under coexistence reveals the significance of predatory efficiency of different predator combinations with reference to prey density and exposure period.
使用大黾蝽（A）、灰蝎蝽和食蚊鱼针对不同猎物密度的四龄库蚊幼虫进行了捕食实验。个体捕食效率的排名显示顺序为：大型食蚊鱼＞中型食蚊鱼＞小型食蚊鱼＞雌性灰蝎蝽＞雄性灰蝎蝽＞大黾蝽。共存条件下的捕食揭示了不同捕食者组合在猎物密度和暴露时间方面的捕食效率的重要性。
