The ponérine ant Ectatomma ruidum Roger is a neotropical species, hunting on the ground.In order to study the range of predatory strategies, hunters of this species were offered larvae of Tenebriomolitor, which weights extended from 4 to 204 mg. Three types of predatory strategies were definedfollowing increase in the size of prey, i.e. respectively solitary hunting, cooperative hunting and grouphunting with recruitment. After a common initial sequence (search for prey, detection, localization), thefollowing predatory sequence have varied concerning the type of approach, the site of seizure, the reactionafter stinging and the type of transport. Nevertheless, all prey were always stung and all hunters alwaysrespected a waiting phase until the immobilization of the prey, except in the case of very small prey. Thetime of capture and the number of individuals involved in each predatory sequence were positively correla-ted with the weight of the prey. Moreover, the number of hunters was correlated with the weight of theprey within each strategy with recruitment, illustrating a typical graded recruitment. This predatory flexi-bility certainly contributed to the development of this species in neotropical biotopes, and sustains its ef-ficiency as a potential agent of biological control.

La fourmi ponérine Ectatomma ruidum Roger est une espèce néotropicale, chassant sesproies au sol. Afin d'étudier la gamme des stratégies prédatrices de cette espèce, nous avons offert des lar-ves de vers de farine, dont le poids s'échelonnait de 4 à 204 mg. Trois types de stratégies prédatrices ontété utilisées en fonction de la taille de la proie: la chasse solitaire, le recrutement local ou le recrutementau nid. Après une séquence initiale commune (recherche de la proie, détection, localisation), la séquence deprédation présente des différences, en fonction du poids de la proie, en ce qui concerne: le type d'approche,le lieu de saisie de la proie, le comportement après piqûre de la proie et le type de transport. Néanmoins,toutes les proies ont été piquées et les prédatrices ont toujours respecté une phase d'attente d'immobilisa-tion de la proie entre la piqûre et la phase de transport, excepté pour les proies très petites. Le temps decapture et de transport des proies, et le nombre d'individus impliqués dans chaque séquence de prédationsont córreles positivement au poids de la proie, et ceci même à l'intérieur de chaque stratégie collectivesuggérant l'intervention d'un recrutement gradué. Cette flexibilité prédatrice a sans doute contribué au suc-cès de cette espèce en milieu néotropical, et confirme son rôle en tant qu'agent potentiel de contrôle biolo-gique. fra
