摘要

巨型水虫（半翅目：水虫科）是淡水生态系统中的主要捕食者，据报道以鱼类、两栖动物和爬行动物等多种脊椎动物为食。在这里，我们报道了西非几内亚比绍稻田的临时池塘中，一只巨大的水虫（Lethocerus cordofanus）对一只成年雌性vesper bat（Afronyteris nana）的机会主义捕食。据我们所知，这是科学报告中首次记录到巨型水虫对哺乳动物的自然捕食。

First observation of Lethocerus cordofanus (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae) preying on Afronycteris nana (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)

Giant water bugs (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae) are key predators in freshwater ecosystems and have been reported to feed on several species of vertebrates, including fishes, amphibians and reptiles. Here, we report the opportunistic predation of an adult female vesper bat (Afronycteris nana) by a giant water bug (Lethocerus cordofanus) in a temporary pond in a rice paddy in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. To our best knowledge, this is the first instance of natural predation upon a mammal by a giant water bug to be documented in a scientific report.
