Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

ABSTRACT Chemical communication during courtship is well documented in salamanders and newts, but its role in frogs is less understood. In some Neotropical poison frogs, males exhibit specialised mucous glands (SMGs) in the hand integument that express high levels of sodefrin precursor‐like factors (SPFs), an amphibian pheromone. Some species also show
