Predation of the Balkan frog Pelophylax kurtmuelleri (Gayda, 1940) (Anura: Ranidae) by the giant water bug Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Belostomatidae)
Lethocerinae water bugs are vertebrate predators that include in their diet large prey such as fish, turtles, snakes and frogs. Although frog consumption is common among the members of the genus Lethocerus, similar reports are unknown from Europe. Here we report a predation event by an adult Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) on a subadult Balkan water frog Pelophylax kurtmuelleri (Gayda, 1940), the first description of its kind in Europe.
期刊介绍:
Entomological Science is the official English language journal of the Entomological Society of Japan. The Journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline or from directly allied field in ecology, behavioral biology, physiology, biochemistry, development, genetics, systematics, morphology, evolution and general entomology. Papers of applied entomology will be considered for publication if they significantly advance in the field of entomological science in the opinion of the Editors and Editorial Board.
