ABSTRACT
We report a case of predation on the basket worm Oiketicus sp. (Lepidoptera, Psychidae) by the Streak-backed Oriole (Icterus pustulatus) in the Municipality of Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. The bird was photographed, and we describe the prey based on its basket, cephalic capsule, and fragments of thoracic segments. We describe the foraging strategy and provide a list of previously recorded food resources in the diet of I. pustulatus. This is the first documentation of a basket worm being consumed by I. pustulatus, which may be considered omnivorous.
RESUMEN

(Lepidoptera, Psychidae) por la calandria dorso rayado (Icterus pustulatus) en el Municipio de Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca, México. El ave fue fotografiada y describimos la presa a partir de su canasta, cápsula cefálica y fragmentos de segmentos torácicos. Describimos la estrategia de forrajeo y presentamos una lista de recursos alimentarios previamente registrados en la dieta de I. pustulatus. Esta es la primera documentación de alimentación de un gusano canasta por parte de I. pustulatus, el cual puede ser considerada omnivora.
