Contrasting reactions of loggerhead shrikes to two types of chemically defended insect prey.

R Yosef1, J E Carrel, T Eisner.   

Abstract

Feeding tests with loggerhead shrikes (Lanius ludovicianus) showed this bird to acceptUtetheisa ornatrix, a moth (Arctiidae) protected by pyrrolizidine alkaloids, but to avoidLytta polita, a beetle (Meloidae) containing cantharidin.
