Insectivorous refers to organisms that primarily feed on insects. This term is commonly used to describe certain animals, such as frogs, birds, and bats, which have adapted their feeding habits to capture and consume insects as a main food source. These creatures play a vital role in controlling insect populations in their ecosystems. Insectivorous plants, like the Venus flytrap and pitcher plant, also exist. These plants have evolved specialized mechanisms to attract, trap, and digest insects, providing them with essential nutrients. This adaptation allows them to thrive in nutrient-poor environments where traditional soil nutrients are lacking.
