Geckos feed on crickets, beetles, termites and moths. Nearly all adult beetles, and many beetle larvae, have mandibles. Their prey consists of small insects such as flies, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, beetles, and caterpillars. Other invertebrates eaten include flies, butterflies, moths, beetles, and snails. Typical prey include flies, crickets, grasshoppers, beetles, and caterpillars. Other researchers are trying to silence genes in ants, caterpillars and pollen beetles. Adults feed on slugs, myriapods, spiders, beetles and grasshoppers. Basswood attracts many insect pests including Japanese beetles and skeletonized leaves are common. Fungi ingrowing dead wood are essential for xylophagous insects (e.g. woodboring beetles). His favorite foods are insects of various types, especially beetles, and worms. Sloths have a highly specific community of commensal beetles, mites and moths. Many larger animals prey upon centipedes, such as mongooses, mice, salamanders, beetles and snakes. Resins also trap insect pests making some initial entry by bark beetles unsuccessful. Some elateriform larvae of click beetles are known as wireworms. They attract pollinators such as bees, beetles, and flies.
