Home›Insects›Diet›InsectivoreBrowse ByInsectivoreDiet 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.FactsInsectivoreSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1InsectivoreFilter Results15 entriesCommon GroupAllBees, Wasps And Ants (Hymenoptera) (2)Beetles (Coleoptera) (1)Butterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera) (1)Dragonflies And Damselflies (Odonata) (2)Flies (Diptera) (3)Lacewings, Antlions And Allies (Neuroptera And Kin) (1)Mantises (Mantodea) (2)Other Insects (1)True Bugs (Hemiptera) (2)Everyday GroupAllBees, Wasps And Ants (Hymenoptera) (2)Beetles (Coleoptera) (1)Butterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera) (1)Dragonflies And Damselflies (Odonata) (2)Flies (Diptera) (3)Lacewings, Antlions And Allies (Neuroptera And Kin) (1)Mantises (Mantodea) (2)Other Insects (1)True Bugs (Hemiptera) (2)HabitatAllBog (2)Boreal Forest (1)Chaparral (2)Desert (1)Freshwater (1)Grassland (1)Lake (2)River (2)Savanna (2)Steppe (1)Temperate Forest (2)Tundra (1)Wetlands (1)Where It LivesAllAfrica (4)Asia (2)Australia (1)Australia (1)Bahamas (1)Belgium (1)Belize (1)Cambodia (2)Cameroon (1)Canada (3)Colombia (1)Costa Rica (1)Cuba (1)Denmark (3)Ecuador (1)Egypt (1)Europe (3)Guatemala (1)Indonesia (2)Italy (1)Jamaica (1)Laos (2)Malaysia (2)Mexico (1)Myanmar (2)New Zealand (1)North America (7)Norway (2)Portugal (1)Singapore (2)South America (4)Southeast Asia (2)Sweden (2)Thailand (2)United States (7)Vietnam (2)Conservation StatusAllData Deficient (1)Least Concern (1)Not Evaluated (6)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (2)Marine (2)Terrestrial (13)Living or ExtinctAllYes (15)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (6)Ecotourism and Research (2)Natural Pest Control (1)Pollinator (1)CITES AppendixAllNot Listed (12)NatureServe RankAllG5 Secure (1)GNR Unranked (5)TaxonomyAllDiptera (3)Hymenoptera (3)Insecta (1)Mantodea (2)Neuroptera (1)Nitidulidae (1)Odonata (2)Pyralidae (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 15Asian Giant HornetInsectivoreCicada Killer WaspInsectivoreCommon Green DarnerInsectivoreDamselflyInsectivoreHoverflyInsectivoreHymenopus coronatusInsectivoreOrchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus)InsectivoreOwlflyInsectivoreRobber FlyInsectivoreScathophaga stercorariaInsectivoreSilverfishInsectivoreSmall hive beetleInsectivoreWaxwormInsectivoreWheel BugInsectivoreYellowjacketInsectivoreSources1.
