Predation of Pseudis minuta Günther 1858, by Lethocerus annulipes (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae)

description We observed an adult male of P. minuta (28.5 mm snout-vent length), which was captured by a water bug of the species Lethocerus annulipes (57.3 mm total length) at the shoreline of a lentic water body (Fig. 1). The insect immobilized its prey with the mandibular apparatus, holding the frog by its right hind leg. The prey was immobilized for about 10 min until specimens were collected, during which the frog neither attempted to escape nor vocalized.
