Woodpickers, flickers, toucans, aracaris, motmots, etc. Electron is a genus of the motmots, a family of Neotropical near passerine birds. The Puerto Rican tody is the closest relative to the motmots of Central America. They are distinguished from other motmots by their much wider bills. The 2008 and 2015 papers both linked the kingfishers to the New World motmots. Other predators of the bat include hawks, falcons, owls, and motmots. Blue-crowned motmots have a body length ranging from 38-43 cm (15-17 inches). In Costa Rica, motmots have been observed feeding on poison dart frogs. Motmots eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also take fruit.
