If you eat insects you are an insectivore.

Rising populations of insect species attract hungry insectivores, like birds and reptiles, who entice larger carnivores and apex predators.

And they're principally insectivores, meat eaters, but they do play a very important role when it comes to maintaining the plant community in this ecosystem.

它们主要捕食昆虫，是食肉动物，但它们在维持这个生态系统植物群落中，确实起着相当重要作用。

Paleontologists aren't sure what they ate, as their forearms were in between those of their carnivorous ancestors and the later specialized insectivores.

古生物学家不确定他们吃什么，因为他们前臂介于他们肉食性祖先和后来专门食虫动物前臂之间。

This seems like it could be a possibility, because there are modern insectivores, like some species of shrews, that use ultrasound for communication or navigation.

While there is some debate about it, paleontologists think that Alvarezsaurus was an insectivore that used its finger claw to rip into logs in search of termites.

虽然对此存在一些争论，但古生物学家认为尔瓦雷兹龙是一种食虫动物，它用指爪撕裂原木以寻找白蚁。

And one reason this trait might've been important for early mammaliaforms and then for the first crown mammals is that many of them were small insectivores who probably hunted at night.

这种特性可能对早期哺乳动物很重要，然后对第一个皇冠哺乳动物很重要一个原因是，它们中许多都是型食虫动物，可能在夜间捕食。

And the reason for that is probably because they were good strategies for survival in the niches that they occupied: being small to medium-sized insectivores living in a world full of large reptiles.

其原因可能是因为它们是在它们占据生态位中生存好策略：作为生活在充满大型爬行动物世界中中型食虫动物。

Some 180m years ago, during the early part of the Jurassic period, this site was a lake where mayflies lived and swarmed to mate, as they do today, providing, as a side-effect, a feast for local insectivores.

大约1.8亿年前，在侏罗纪早期，这个地方是一个湖泊，蜉蝣生活在那里，成群交配，就像今天一样，同时也为当地食虫动物提供一场盛宴。
