(...) in a number of species the camouflage provided by decorating activities appears to facilitate the capture of prey. For example, in aquariums fishes and other swimming prey have been observed coming close to motionless crabs of the well-decorated European species Hyas araneus(a lyre crab) and Macropodia rostrata and being captured by them. 1, record 2, English, - Macropodia%20rostrata

(...) il semble que le camouflage facilite chez un certain nombre d'espèces la capture des proies. On a pu ainsi voir en aquarium des poissons et d'autres animaux s'approcher et se laisser capturer par des Crabes immobiles appartenant aux espèces européennes Hyas araneus (un crabe en forme de lyre) et Macropodia rostrata, lesquelles ont coutume de se décorer abondamment. 1, record 2, French, - Macropodia%20rostrata
