The "Violaceous" Trogon (recently split into three species), which nests in Mexico, Central America, and northern South America, often excavates its dwelling within a large, active wasp or termite nest. It begins by devouring some of the insects, then digs a cavity large enough to accommodate the birds and their eggs. While they may continue to snack on resident wasps or termites throughout nesting, the trogons never eliminate all the insects, creating a nest that few predators would dare disturb.
