摘要

骨科动物是食物链的重要组成部分。属于直翅目的物种是食草动物或捕食者，有些是机会捕食者。然而，它们的捕食习惯还没有被很好地理解。在这里，我们报告了在巴西西部亚马逊的一片原生林中，一只Hyperomerus sp. katydid捕食了一只Chactopsis sp.蝎子。这些标本是在一棵60厘米高的灌木上发现的。蝎子在被蝈蝈吞食的过程中，出现了肿瘤的痉挛性运动。这是亚马逊生物群系中关于直脚动物和蝎子之间捕食者-猎物相互作用的第一份报告。我们相信这种类型的记录对于更好地理解热带无脊椎动物群落中捕食者-猎物的相互作用很重要。

Once a prey, now a predator: an unusual record of a scorpion (Scorpiones: Chactidae) predated by a katydid (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) in the western Brazilian Amazon

ABSTRACT Orthopterans are an important component of the food chain. The species belonging to the order Orthoptera are herbivores or predators, and several behave as opportunistic predators. However, their predatory habits are not well understood. Here we report the predation of a Chactopsis sp. scorpion by a Hyperomerus sp. katydid in a fragment of terra firme forest in the western Brazilian Amazon. The specimens were found on a 60-cm tall bush. The scorpion showed spasmodic motions of the metasoma while it was being devoured by the katydid. This is the first report of a predator-prey interaction between an orthopteran and a scorpion in the Amazon biome. We believe that records of this type are important to allow a better understanding of predator-prey interactions in tropical invertebrate communities.
