PREDATION ON Dendropsophus minutus (Hylidae) BY Oxyopsis sp. (Mantidae) IN THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS, SOUTHEAST BRAZIL

Amphibians are important components of the diet of many predators, including invertebrates. Additionally, praying mantises (Order Mantodea) have been documented preying on various vertebrate taxa; however, the complexity of their diet and other trophic interactions remains poorly understood. Here, we report the first record of predation on Dendropsophus minutus (Anura: Hylidae) by an adult female Oxyopsis sp. (Mantodea: Mantidae) in southeastern Brazil.
