Larvae and pupae are links in the diets of birds and parasitic entomophagous insects. These insects are known as entomophagous parasites. It thus belongs to the entomophagous parasites. "B. bagarius" is primarily entomophagous. Hematophagy in insects, including mosquitoes, is thought to have arisen from phtyophagous or entomophagous origins. "Hirsutella subulata" is another entomophagous, or insect-eating, fungal parasite to the codling moth larvae. "Propylea 14-punctata" is entomophagous (insect-eating). The females are permanent entomophagous endoparasites of "Polistes" paper wasps. Evidence suggests that evolutionary precursors of "Homo sapiens" were also entomophagous. It is an entomophagous predator that preys on a wide range of insects. Necrobiont insects includes necrophagous and entomophagous trophic specializations, or necrophagous, predaceous/parasitic and omnivorous species.
