I just wanted to know, because the tiger beetles I saw in Japan ate small ants.
Awesome tiger. Great capture. 'Ive seen other tigers eating ants and my friend has seen them eat mosquitos.
No Tristan , didin't see it. Would that not be a too small prey for these rather large beetles ? I would suspect that with the speed and agility they display they would easier attack flies and other insects ? I find them alot around mining bee nests , but actually never saw them attacking one ... could be more because they prefer the same sandy soils and thus share only the same habitat. The larvae however could eventually attack ants...but I yet have to find the first larvae ;-)
