[QUOTE="nedweenie, post: 11910, member: 324"] Because that prey is "butt wiggling good"! :-D Seriously though, you're probably right- their digestive systems are primitive, so the pulsating probably functions to pull the already eaten & digested food down & out. I've noted that the abdomen will also pulse before & during defecation (and delicately tipping to one side so not to be hit by the frass dropping!) [/QUOTE]
