The red-throated caracara is a social species of bird of prey in the family Falconidae. It is placed in the monotypic genus "Ibycter", or sometimes united in "Daptrius" with the black caracara. Unique among caracaras, it mainly feeds on the larvae of bees and wasps, but also takes the adult insects and fruits and berries.
