Home›Insects›Diet›CarnivoreBrowse ByCarnivoreDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsCarnivoreSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1CarnivoreFilter Results36 entriesCommon GroupAllBees, Wasps And Ants (Hymenoptera) (5)Beetles (Coleoptera) (10)Dragonflies And Damselflies (Odonata) (4)Fleas And Lice (1)Flies (Diptera) (1)Grasshoppers And Crickets (Orthoptera) (1)Lacewings, Antlions And Allies (Neuroptera And Kin) (3)Mantises (Mantodea) (2)Other Insects (3)True Bugs (Hemiptera) (6)Everyday GroupAllBees, Wasps And Ants (Hymenoptera) (5)Beetles (Coleoptera) (10)Dragonflies And Damselflies (Odonata) (4)Fleas And Lice (1)Flies (Diptera) (1)Grasshoppers And Crickets (Orthoptera) (1)Lacewings, Antlions And Allies (Neuroptera And Kin) (3)Mantises (Mantodea) (2)Other Insects (3)True Bugs (Hemiptera) (6)HabitatAllAlpine (1)Bog (1)Boreal Forest (1)Chaparral (1)Desert (2)Fen (1)Freshwater (3)Freshwater Marsh (1)Grassland (5)Lake (1)Mangrove Forest (1)River (4)Temperate Coniferous Forest (1)Temperate Forest (2)Tropical Rainforest (2)Tundra (1)Wetlands (2)Xeric Shrubland (1)Where It LivesAllAfrica (6)Asia (4)Australia (1)Australia (2)Bahamas (1)Bangladesh (1)Belgium (8)Belize (1)Brazil (2)Cambodia (1)Canada (4)Colombia (6)Costa Rica (1)Cuba (1)Denmark (16)Ecuador (1)Egypt (1)Europe (2)Guatemala (1)Iran (1)Jamaica (1)Laos (1)Luxembourg (1)Mexico (1)Mozambique (1)Myanmar (1)New Zealand (1)North America (9)Norway (16)Panama (1)Philippines (1)Portugal (3)South Africa (1)South America (3)South Asia (1)Spain (1)Sweden (15)Thailand (1)Trinidad and Tobago (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (16)Vietnam (1)Conservation StatusAllEndangered (1)Least Concern (4)Not Evaluated (10)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (11)Marine (7)Terrestrial (27)Terrestrial and Freshwater (1)Living or ExtinctAllYes (36)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (5)Disease Vector (2)Ecotourism and Research (2)Hunted or Fished (1)Invasive or Introduced Species (3)Kept as Pets (3)Natural Pest Control (2)No Significant Interaction with Humans (1)Used in Traditional Medicine (1)Venomous or Dangerous to Humans (2)CITES AppendixAllNot Listed (32)NatureServe RankAllG2 Imperiled (1)G5 Secure (2)GNR Unranked (5)EcosystemAllMojave Desert (1)TaxonomyAllCarabidae (1)Coccinellidae (1)Coleoptera (6)Diptera (1)Dytiscidae (1)Formicidae (1)Hemiptera (5)Hymenoptera (5)Insecta (5)Mantodea (2)Megaloptera (1)Neuroptera (1)Odonata (4)Orthoptera (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 36AntlionCarnivoreArmy AntCarnivoreBackswimmerCarnivoreBombardier BeetleCarnivoreBullet AntCarnivoreCicada Killer WaspCarnivoreCommon Eastern FireflyCarnivoreDiving BeetleCarnivoreDobsonflyCarnivoreDragonflyCarnivoreDriver Ant (Dorylus)CarnivoreEmperor DragonflyCarnivoreErythrodiplax bereniceCarnivoreEuropean MantisCarnivoreFireflyCarnivoreGerris lacustrisCarnivoreGiant Water BugCarnivoreGladiatorCarnivoreGreat diving beetleCarnivoreGround BeetleCarnivoreHarlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis)CarnivoreHine's emeraldCarnivoreHouseflyCarnivoreHuman LouseCarnivorePaper WaspCarnivorePotter WaspCarnivorePraying MantisCarnivoreRove BeetleCarnivoreScorpionflyCarnivoreSeven-spot LadybirdCarnivoreSilverfishCarnivoreSnakeflyCarnivoreStink BugCarnivoreTiger BeetleCarnivoreWater StriderCarnivoreWetaCarnivoreSources1.
