"Only a few other predator groups such as spiders and entomophagous insects (including in particular predaceous ants) can keep up with the
insectivorous birds in their capacity to suppress plant-eating insect populations on a global scale," he added.
Insectivorous bats that consume larger or hard-shelled preys tend to have big head, large gapes and tooth row, and a thicker jaw (Freeman, 1979; Fenton, 1988).
Insectivorous bats are known to play a major role in minimizing nocturnal insect population by consuming a major population (up to 100 % of their boy mass) in a single night (Kunz and Fenton, 2003).

In
insectivorous birds, the most abundant food items were Coleoptera (found in 85 samples), Formicidae (35) and Diptera (30) (Tables II).
A happy African wading bird with long legs and long toes, a Jay given to kidding around, a green tropical

Mammals from Tlaxmalac represented eight different feeding habits (Table 1), including omnivorous (n = 15, 36.6%),
insectivorous (n = 10, 24.4%), frugivorous (n = 6, 14.6%), nectarivorous (n = 4, 9.8%), and herbivorous (n = 3, 7.4%), which were most abundant, as well as granivorous (Heteromys irroratus), hematophagous (Desmodus rotundus), and carnivorous (Leopardus weidii), which had only one species each (2.4%).
