      Not even

      It is a carnivorous rodent, dining on insects (such as grasshoppers), worms, spiders, centipedes, mantis, scorpions, snakes, and even other mice.

      The southern grasshopper mouse has around a 3.5 to 5.0 inches (8.9–12.7 cm) long body

        It’s known for taking down prey larger than itself and I think holds the record for biggest disparity of weight predator to prey.
