About half of all insects live on plants. The rest catch and kill other insects for food. They are the hunters of the

insect world. Each kind of hunter insect has a weapon. The dragonfly uses its legs as basket to scoop up other insects. The

sand wasp has a stinger which it uses to stun its victims. Some hunter insects set traps. The tiger beetle digs a small hole and

gets in. Only its head is at the top of the hole. The tiger beetle can pop its head out like a jack-in-the-box. It catches its

victims by surprise. The ant lion digs a hole in sand and waits at the bottom. When an ant or other insect get near the hole,

the sand gives way. The victim slides down into the jaws of the waiting ant lion. The praying mantis is a large insect that

looks as if it has arms. Its “arms” are really legs, but they are not used for walking. They are used to grab and hold its

victims. We fight to keep down the number of insects that eats our food. Can you see how hunter insects help people?
