Resumo

Se documenta un evento de depredación sobre una pupa de Lepidoptera perteneciente a la familia Noctuidae por la hormiga Paraponera clavata (Fabricius, 1775), observado el 9 de enero de 2024 en el Valle de Mamoní, Panamá. El comportamiento fue registrado mediante observación directa y documentación fotográfica, evidenciando la captura, manipulación y transporte de la presa por un individuo. Este registro contribuye al conocimiento de la historia natural de P. clavata y amplía la información disponible sobre las interacciones depredador–presa observadas en ambientes de bosque tropical.
