This paper derives a differential-difference (backward) equation for the ``terminal fitness'' (expected conditional ``reward'' as a function of predator satiation) of a predatory insect. The equation is solved for the case where the predator's gut capacity is large compared to individual prey items (and handling time is negligible). The stationary functional response is also obtained.
