Predation on Onthophagus rutilans Sharp (Coleoptera : Scarabaeidae) by Dindymus albicornis (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae)

Dung beetles play significant roles in ecosystem services. However, little is known about their predators. In the lowland dipterocarp forsets of Johor (Malaysia), three individuals of Dindymus albicornis have been found preying on an individual of Onthophagus rutilans. This is the first record of a Pyrrhocoridae preying on dung beetle species.
