A male and female A. carolinensis and an A. lamellidens worker were found in webs of the Theridiid, Tidarren sisyphoides (Walckenaer) . Corpses of A. lamellidens workers were also found in the web of an unidentified Theridiid. A worker of A. carolinensis was found in the web of an immature Nephila clavipes (Linnaeus) and another in a web of Leucage venusta (Walckenaer) . Workers of A. lamellidens and A. carolinensis were found in abandoned spider webs. On three occasions wolf spiders, Lycosidae..., were seen attacking Aphaenogaster foragers (A. ashmeadi , A. carolinensis , and A. lamellidens) returning to their nests with food items. In each in- stance the ant escaped, losing its burden. In the laboratory a worker of A. floridana was put in a petri dish with a large wolf spider, Lycosa . The spider immediately attacked the ant, killing it almost instantly. However, the spider quickly released the ant and began rubbing its mouthparts and forelegs on the substrate. A lump of cotton saturated with water was placed in the petri dish.
