<b>Video Supplementary of First aerial predation record of </b><b><i>Vespula germanica</i></b><b> (</b><b><i>Hymenoptera: Vespidae</i></b><b>) on the endemic moth </b><b><i>Neorumia lutea</i></b><b> (</b><b><i>Lepidoptera: Geometridae</i></b><b>) in central-southern Chile</b>

The first case of aerial predation by <i>Vespula germanica</i> (Fabricius, 1793) on <i>Neorumia lutea</i> (Bartlett-Calvert, 1893) in Chile is documented. A worker of <i>V. germanica</i> was observed attacking an adult <i>N. lutea</i> in flight, removing its wings before consuming its body. This behavior had not been previously reported in Chile or other invaded regions. The recorded interaction suggests a foraging strategy with potential implications for the trophic structure of ecosystems.本研究记录了智利境内德国黄胡蜂（Vespula germanica Fabricius, 1793）对Neorumia lutea（Bartlett-Calvert, 1893）的首例空中捕食案例。研究人员观测到一只德国黄胡蜂工蜂在空中攻击一只成虫期的Neorumia lutea，先摘除其翅膀后取食其躯体。该捕食行为此前从未在智利或该物种的其他入侵分布区被报道过。此次记录到的种间互作行为提示，德国黄胡蜂存在一种新型觅食策略，该策略或对生态系统的营养结构产生潜在影响。
