Road Runners are one of their predators.
Aside from cannibalism, large centipedes, spiders and some ants have been recorded as predators. Lizards, a few snakes frogs and toads, birds and mammals also take their share.
In the west (America), scorpions form a large portion of the diet of grasshoppers, mice and burrowing elf owls. The Shovel-nosed snake also from the desert southwest appears to feed almost excusively on scorpions and centipedes.
