Predation in nature by a scorpion-hunter, Stenorrhina freminvillei (Serpentes, Colubridae)

Abstract

Sonorini snakes are arthropod specialists but we know of only one published diet record for Stenorrhina freminvillei. Here we present quantitative data for predation on scorpions in nature by S. freminvillei: in nature, it consumes among other prey, relatively small scorpions, head-first.
