What eats insects?

Birds, frogs, lizards, skunks, anteaters, fish, and many other kinds of animals eat insects and insect eggs. Insects also eat other insects. Humans eat insects, too—like locusts, ants, caterpillars, and beetle larvae. There are about 500 kinds of insect-eating plants. Perhaps you know the Venus flytrap best. It can catch an insect in the blink of an eye! Then it slowly digests the unlucky bug.
