This bluebird accepted one insect—Hydrophilus triangularis— 
which very probably is never taken by wild bluebirds. The ground 
beetle—Scarites—disregarded and thrice refused by the captive 
bluebird has been found in collected stomachs of the species. The 
same is true of the only berry offered it, that of Ilex opaca, which the 
caged bird rejected. The honey bee, which was refused, and spiders 
and May-beetles, which were disregarded as well as accepted, are also 
eaten by wild bluebirds.
