Another words, the feeding behaviour is:
stand
peck
Zonibyx, on the other hand, more typically does not run after the peering place, bending over
directly to peck. Nor does it really stretch its neck that far while standing. I suggest that
Oreopholus is searching over a wider radius than does Zonibyx (i.e. wider from the standing pt to the
actual food being predated) and predict that Oreopholus will also be taking bigger food, if for no other
reason than the bigger food will be more obvious than the little insect...
