 In laboratory tests, Los Baños "P. labiata" relies more on trial and error than Sagada "P. labiata" in finding ways to vibrate the prey's web and thus lure or distract the prey.Around Los Baños the web-building "Scytodes pallida", which preys on jumping spiders, is very abundant.All members of the genus "Scytodes" spit a sticky gum on prey and potential threats, and this can immobilise a "Portia" long enough for the "Scytodes" to wrap the "Portia" in silk and then bite it.
