Family STURNIDAE
Acridotheres tristis Bonnaterre and Vieillot
Common name.—Myna, mynah.
Natural prey.—Cockroaches, Hawaii, Lanai (Illingworth, 1928): Illingworth reported that he had never seen as many cockroaches anywhere else in Hawaii. The birds followed tractors that were destroying cactus and kept close to the chain that turned over the stumps. The following species were collected: Allacta similis, Blattella germanica, Cutilia soror, Diploptera punctata, Leucophaea maderae, Periplaneta americana, Periplaneta australasiae, Pycnoscelus surinamensis. Illingworth did not state whether the birds ate all these species indiscriminately.
Pycnoscelus surinamensis, Hawaii (Williams et al., 1931; Schwabe, 1950b): In many places this species forms an important fledgling food for mynah birds.
