the foreleg is too small to catch large prey and it is odd that they donot eat anyother insect even send to mouth.

as i know they eat Crematogaster which is very common specie live in the trunk.

Wonderful find! Gonatista will also eat ants if presented with them. What size are the adults?

All the best,
