Survival of gravid thrips-experienced and -naïve (spider mite T. urticae-experienced) N. californicus females offered first larvae of thrips F. occidentalis as prey, in dependence of the predators’ type of experience early in life. Type of experience was either contact with live prey but no feeding (contact), feeding on prey (feeding), or contact with prey traces left on the surface (traces). Different letters on top of bars indicate significant differences among types of experience (Bonferroni following GLM; P < 0.05)
