“…In the Philippines, more than 160 taxa of tiger beetles have been noted (Anichtchenko & Medina, 2019, 2020; Cabras et al, 2016; Dheurle, 2016, 2019; Medina et al., 2019, 2020; Wiesner & Dheurle, 2018; Zettel & Wiesner, 2018) including 14 Tricondyla Latreille et Dejean, 1822 and 29 Neocollyris Horn, 1901 species of which almost 90% are endemic to this country (Cabras et al, 2016). Although there is no detailed study devoted to prey preferences of arboreal Tricondyla or Neocollyris species, unspecified ant species are suggested as one of the most important types of prey both for larvae and adults of these ant‐mimicking tiger beetles (Naviaux, 2002; Pearson & Vogler, 2001; Trautner & Schawaller, 1996).…”
