Abstract

Larids are well known for their kleptoparasitic habits, but mostly they steal from conspecifics or other birds. Here we describe Larus delawarensis (Ring-billed Gull) stealing cicadas from Sphecius speciosus (Eastern Cicada Killer) in flight over the Susquehanna River in southern Pennsylvania.
