Abstract
Marked individual Tengella radiata spiders showed low and variable rates of weight gain in the field in old lowland forest in Costa Rica. Calibration studies of weight gained on controlled diets in captivity and rates of metabolism allow extrapolation of field results to probable rates of predation in the field. The prey capture rate for this species is apparently substantially lower than those of other similar sized spiders.
