| All beetles use virtually any organic food source however the larvae have a completely different diet to the adults. Beetles can be classified according to what they eat. There are two types coprophagous and necrophagous. The former feed on excrement (earth-boring dung beetles) and the latter on carrion (Silphidae).
The excretions of both speci... | | |
| | Sense of smell and sense of taste are highly developed in ants. They communicate primarily by means of pheromones. Ants always behave aggressively when they encounter ants from other colonies. The Red forest ant is an example of an omnivore. Its diet consists of insects like caterpillars, butterflies and flies as well as other invertebrates like spiders. | | |
| | | The diet of Muscidae differs from species to species. There are parasites, blood suckers and also flower visitors. Then there are species that suck fluids of various kinds. Others feed on dead organic material and on the fungi which live within. There are s... | | |

While the Nematocera have a bad reputation amongst humans because their bites can be painful and can cause allergies and transmit germs, the crane fly (larval stage) is regarded as a useful animal, because the diet and elimination behaviour of the larvae help to improve the soil. | | |
| | Excretions of other insects (honeydew of lice), nectar, seeds, fruit or pollen, in addition to many parts of plants also form part of their diet. Driver ants prey on other insects and animals. Some species are scavengers and feed on the excreta of other insects. Others collect seeds, grow mushrooms or dig tunnels into the nests of other insects to steal their breeds and to feed on them. | | |
| | The honey bee, silkworms, grasshoppers and crickets are regarded as useful by humans. Indeed crickets are part of the human diet in many countries. Furthermore in addition to their use in the pharmaceutical industry, certain insects are kept as pets in terrariums.

It is either dirty greenish , grey to dark grey or dark brown in colour, and has a dimpled surface. The diet of the larvae is the same as the adults. If the plant they are on is disturbed while they are feeding, the larvae fall to the ground. Often, they are not able to find their way back to the food plants and run the risk of starvation. | | |
| | ...ngths of 3-24 mm. Most species are long and oval in shape. Their bodies are shiny, bristly and very colourful, usually red, yellow, orange or blue. The head and pronotum are almost the same width. The neck shield is elongated. For their carnivorous diet, Cleridae have particularly strongly developed mandibles. The antennae in most species are club-shaped, widening at the end, in others they are serrated or filamentous. | | |
| | The way of life of most parasitic mites varies considerably. Many species are very slow moving and use animals as a form of transport while sucking their blood. Even the diet of different species varies greatly. Mites live from bacteria etc... or from plants or plant parts, fungi, carrion, dead tissue (eg skin flakes) or fat. | | |
