This study aimed to identify the diet of the Ameiva ameiva species. The knowledge of the diet was performed through the analysis of the stomach contents of individuals collected in an area in the municipality of Juína, Mato Grosso state. The stomach contents of 49 A. ameiva individuals were analyzed, and it was possible to observe a diet consisting mainly of individuals of the classes Insecta, Arachnida, and Crustacea. Regarding the Insecta class, the orders with the higher number of individuals were Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera, respectively, and belonging to 11 families, with Formicidae and Gryllidae being observed, respectively, with higher frequency in feeding. The data obtained from the feed of A. ameiva demonstrate the importance of this species in the ecosystem’s balance because of the range of prey from which it feeds.
