Camera-trap observations of 53 Tacinga inamoena flowers in a natural population in Rio Grande do Norte. Four cases of flower consumption by Tropidurus hispidus were recorded, documenting the time, flower position and extent of damage. The results associate destruction of reproductive organs with failure to produce a fruit in three cases.
