Insectivore

An insectivore is an animal that feeds mainly on insects and other small invertebrates. These animals help control bug populations and keep ecosystems healthy.

Examples of insectivores include frogs, anteaters, hedgehogs, and many bird species.

Some types of bats are also insectivores, eating hundreds of mosquitoes in a single night.
