[[File:Elgaria multicarinata eating mantis 2.jpg|thumb|A [[Southern Aligator Lizard]] eating a [[praying manitis]]]] An '''insectivore''' is an [[animal]] or [[insect]] that eats mostly [[Insect|insects]] for [[food]]. An [[anteater]] is an animal that eats [[ant]]s. [[Insectivorous plant|Insectivorous plants]] also eat [[Insect|insects]]. The [[Venus flytrap]] is one of them. To eat insects for food is not very easy because insects are small. Large insect-eating animals must eat many of them. Anteaters eat hundreds of ants every day. Some [[omnivore]]s like [[human]]s and [[bear]]s also eat [[Insect|insects]] for food. There was once a taxonomic group of mammals called Insectivora. Most of its animals are now called [[Eulipotyphla]]. ==Related pages== * [[Herbivore]] - an animal that eats mostly plants * [[Carnivore]] - an animal that mostly eats [[meat]] from other animals. * [[Detritivore]] - an animal that eats garbage, dead animals or other food left from another animal. * [[Omnivore]] - an animal that eats animal meat, plants, fruit, and insects.
