Engystomops & termites
Peters' dwarf frog (Engystomops petersi) & termites - Yasuni National Park, Ecuador
A juvenile Engystomops overlooks an all you can eat smorgasbord of termites that were expanding their nest. The termite's activity attracted atleast two species of frogs with three individuals relentlessly consuming termites. Other predators were apparent as well such as spider and harvestmen. The frogs all ate many dozens or 100s of termites. However the termite colony will probably hardly notice the loss and daily life will continue as normal.
