Uptake and bioaccumulation of two Cry toxins by a larval coccinellid was tested.
Uptake was demonstrated by presence of the toxins in pupae and adults.
Bioaccumulation was shown by higher toxin concentration in pupae than prey.
Cry1Ac was present 2.05× and Cry1F 3.09× higher in predator pupae than prey.
This might increase persistence of Cry toxins in food webs with new exposure routes.
