Most carnivorous - "insectivorous" - plants do feed on insects and such buggy invertebrates. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I have been working for some time on a special subject, namely insectivorous plants. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

It would be almost an impossibility to keep the purely insectivorous species, were it not for the fact that they can be gradually accustomed to feed on what is known as "insectivorous" or "insectile" food, a composition of which the principal ingredients generally consist of dried ants 'cocoons, dried flies, dried powdered meat, preserved yolk of egg, [1] and crumb of bread or biscuit. ❋ Various (N/A)

The extremely long, forked tail is nearly always a dead give-away that this species is insectivorous and captures its flying prey whilst both are on the wing. ❋ Unknown (2011)

It is a migratory, insectivorous species, breeding mainly in forests in Siberia. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Thus, the Conservatory Garden was pressed into service to evoke the bower—orchids, ivy, Virginia creeper, insectivorous plants and, of course, those primroses—at Down House, Darwin's home in Kent. ❋ Joanne Kaufman (2011)

These insectivorous birds are found from the southwestern U.S. through Honduras in Central America. ❋ Unknown (2011)

In collaboration with Professor Cutler J. Cleveland (Boston University) and Jeff Frank (Indigo Systems Corporation), and Gary McCracken (University of Tennessee), we are using infrared thermal imaging to census bats as they emerge nightly from caves, NEXRAD II Doppler radar to assess landscape patterns of nightly dispersal, and economic modeling to assess the impact that this insectivorous species has on a major agroecosystem in Texas. ❋ Unknown (2010)

These insectivorous species feed on a wide range of aerial insects, some of which are considered to be major agricultural pests, including corn earworms and cotton boleworms. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Elephant-shrews (also called sengis, order Macroscelidea) are small-bodied insectivorous mammals with a strictly African distribution. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I feed mealworms and crickets to the insectivorous breeds, and goldfish to the water snakes. ❋ Greg Cox (2010)

The insectivorous tenrec Tenrec ecaudatus, introduced to the Seychelles from Madagascar, also occurs. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The only indigenous mammals are fruit bat Pteropus seychellensis and three insectivorous bats Taphozous mauritianus, Triaenops furculus and Tadarida pusilla. ❋ Unknown (2009)

They are particularly rich in canopy lichens, mosses, and bryophytes; in the fungi responsible for decomposing wood; and in specialized insects, for woodpeckers and other cavity nesting animals, and for insectivorous songbirds [12]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

For example, insectivorous ground-dwelling birds that feed in the tundra but nest in trees are able to survive because of the mixture of habitats. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Species of interest include the only two Orchid species recorded in Niger Eulophia cucculataa, E. guineensis, and the insectivorous plant Drosera indica, all of which are sensitive to grazing and trampling. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Many old-growth specialist species, including arboreal lichens, mosses, insects, wood-rotting fungi, and cavity-nesting insectivorous birds, have become rare in boreal Sweden [30]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

[Drosera] kapensis is a insectivorous [plant]. ❋ Moondecareses (2020)
