An adult of Anthracophora rusticola (Burmeister, 1842) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) was detected in the gut of a nestling Japanese crested ibis, Nipponia nippon (Temminck, 1835) which was once extinct in the wild in Japan and was subsequently reintroduced to Sado Island, northern Japan. To date, larvae and/or pupal chamber of A. rusticola have been collected from the nests of various bird species. This is the first study to report the possible predation of an adult A. rusticola by a nestling bird, N. nippon and the possible invasion of A. rusticola into the nests of these birds.
