Anurans are important in trophic food chains because they feed on invertebrates, many of which are harmful to humans. We investigated the diet of 100 specimens of Boana albopunctata from an Atlantic Forest fragment in Ponte Nova municipality, Minas Gerais state. We obtained 107 prey items. The most common prey were Lepidoptera, Araneae and Coleoptera. This species tended to select larger prey in smaller quantities as found in previous reports, but differed in the taxons selected because of spatial and temporal variation in microhabitats and the availability of invertebrates in savannas
