Andrallus spinidens is a powerful predator of Chilo suppressalis Walkr View in CoL ( Lepidoptera View in CoL : Pyralidae View in CoL ) ( Modarres Awal 1997b; Ghahari et al. 2009), Naranga aenescens Moore View in CoL ( Lepidoptera View in CoL : Noctuidae View in CoL ) in the rice fields of northern Iran (Ghahari et al. 2009), and Melanitis leda (Linnaeus) View in CoL ( Lepidoptera View in CoL : Satyridae View in CoL ); it can suck dead caterpillars ( Péricart 2010).
