 A small selection of prey that have been preyed upon by "P. antipodiana" includes "Porcellio scaber", bumblebees, "Holcapsis", "Xyloteles" and "Dolomedes".One of the most unusual prey species of "P. antipodiana" is the snail "Cornu aspersum" (which is exotic to New Zealand).This is quite a difficult prey for most spiders to catch since they have a hard shell they can retreat into and slime that can be produced.
