	insectivore. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Insectivores are small animals, ranging from 2 to 16 in.
		Primitive insectivores may have been arboreal, e.g., the tree shrew, but modern forms are ground or even underground dwellers; the mole is highly specialized for subterranean life.
		Insectivores are found in the Old and New Worlds from subarctic regions to the tropics, but there are none in Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, or most of South America.

	Insectivore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A great many creatures depend on insects as their primary diet, and many that do not (and are thus not technically insectivores) nevertheless use insects as a protein supplement, particularly when they are breeding.
		Some examples of insectivores include nightingale, swallow, gambusia (also known as mosquitofish), carp, frog, lizard, bat, and spider.
		Insectivorous plants also exist, including the Venus flytrap, several species of pitcher plants, butterworts, sundews and kin, bladderworts, the waterwheel plant, and brocchinia bromeliads.

	Paleocene mammals of the world
		Although many insectivores have evolved specializations of their own, features such as the very small brain show that they are among the most primitive placental mammals.
		Instead, it has been proposed that the living insectivores and their close fossil relatives form a separate branch on the evolutionary tree of the placental mammals, just like the rodents or the primates, and should not be mixed up with unrelated archaic mammals.
		Insectivores thrive in a world full of predators today, and there is no reason to suspect that dinosaurs were a greater threat to early insectivore-like mammals than carnivores or birds of prey are to small mammals today.

	INSECTIVORE,
		Only moles and shrews are found in North America.
		Mostly small nocturnal animals with well-developed snouts, insectivores feed on insects and other small invertebrates, such as earthworms.
		This diverse group has existed since the Cretaceous period, 80 million years ago.

	moonrat -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		a large Southeast Asian insectivore that is essentially a primitive tropical hedgehog with a long tail and fur instead of spines.
		Despite their name, moonrats are not rodents, although they have a slim body, small unpigmented ears, small eyes, and a tapered muzzle with long whiskers.
		Insectivores make up almost 10 percent of all mammal species, and most are the size of mice or small rats.

	Insectivora
		Insectivores are the most primitive of the true placental mammals (Eutheria) living today, and many, in fact, are probably fairly close facsimiles of the earliest ancestral forms.
		There is little that unites all of these animals into one order, since the fact that they eat insects is not unique to this group, nor do the members of this group restrict themselves to insects.
		The pectoral girdle and front limbs of moles are modified for burrowing, and they have developed large, spadelike front feet with broad, heavy claws enabling them to nearly "swim" through moist topsoil.

	insectivore -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Deltatheridium, a tiny animal, was an insectivore and represents a stage of development from which the modern insectivores and perhaps the modern placental mammals as a group may have been derived.
		The baculum is one of several heterotropic skeletal elements—i.e., bones dissociated from the rest of the body skeleton.
		It is found in all insectivores (e.g., shrews, hedgehogs), bats, rodents, and carnivores and in all primates except humans.

		I would like to start by saying that this is a very useful plug-in, and perfect for one of my current projects where myself and another developer do not have much physical contact.
		Insectivore 1.0.1 is now available -- it fixes a bug that erroneously marked tasks as deleted when committed to CVS.
		The CVS plugin was triggering a marker removal (the "Not under CVS control" marker), and we were not properly differentiating that from a "real" deletion (when you delete from the task list UI).

		Although these three species are endangered, specialized insectivores (Perkins 1903, Conant 1981), the five common species are either generalists (VanderWerf 1993, 1994) or noninsectivorous (Perkins 1903, Conant 1981).
		For insectivorous forest birds, food availability is a function of both the population dynamics of prey and of the habitat structure that supports those prey (Hutto 1990).
		Estimates of food availability may be expressed at different spatial scales (Schneider 1996), and the choice of the unit of habitat upon which the expression of food availability is based must be appropriate for the question posed (Southwood 1978, Hutto 1990).

	Habitat
		When the weather turns cold and insects disappear, insectivorous birds usually fly to warmer climates where insects are still present.
		While the insects are valuable to the insectivores such as Trilli by providing food, their population numbers are held in check by insectivorous predators such as the nighthawks and Cannabell the fl widow spider.
		If not for the insectivores, insect populations would be unchecked making life miserable for other species.

		However, I do not dispute their apparent absence now - having found few at Lake Martin, Durand Ponds, and McElroy Swamp although I am finding 4-5 Ruby-crowned Kinglets a day at the UL Lafayette Farm which was about the same as before the big chill.
		These unrelated and very different species are better known in their winter habits than small insectivores because they are hunted and hunters want to know where gamebirds are.
		Of course the answer to the kinglet question could be as simple as the Greek's answer to the disappearance of swallows: those kinglets are just buried in the mud waiting for it to thaw out.
