Although lacustrine food webs have been extensively studied, food webs formed on floating-leaved macrophytes are poorly understood. In recent years, lotusNelumbo nucifera, which was often seen in shallow waters, has rapidly expanded and covered a significant part of the surface of the eutrophic shallow Lake Izunuma in Japan. We investigated the diet of the semiaquatic spiderAlopecosacinnameopilosacollected from lotus vegetation and the shore, using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes. We categorized the spiders’ potential diet as aquatic prey (aquatic insects and small fish), terrestrial insects, or semiaquatic leaf beetles (Donacia provostiiandGalerucella nipponensis) that forage mainly on floating-leaved macrophytes. In lotus vegetation,A.cinnameopilosarelied mostly on leaf beetles (mean dietary contribution: 57.3% in July and 46.0% in September). On the lake shore,A.cinnameopilosarelied on both leaf beetles (41.0%) and aquatic prey (36.4%) in July, whereas they relied mostly on aquatic prey (83.1%) in September. The difference in diets between sites could reflect differences between sites in the abundance of leaf beetles. Therefore, macrophyte-based food webs that start from lotus or water chestnuts could significantly support semiaquatic spiders on macrophyte vegetation in Lake Izunuma.
