Red-abdomen Skipper (Pyrrhopyge charybdis)
Author's comments:
En un roble en comenzó a alimentarse de Orugas de P. charybdis. La estrategia era la siguiente: se colgaba con ambas patas de los capullos (formados por 3-4 hojas y unidas por seda) y los arrancaba cortándolos desde la base con el pico. Después se posaba sobre alguna rama donde pudiera movilizarse mejor y extraía la Oruga de dentro del capullo. Una cosa que me llamó la atención fue que a las tres orugas que lo vi cazar las decapitaba.
