Use 'insectivore' to describe any insect-eating animal, not just specific species or types.

Not Specific

'Insectivore' should not be used for animals that eat things other than insects, even partially.

Avoid Misuse

In zoology, 'insectivore' specifically refers to mammals, distinguishing them from other creatures.

The term has a technical usage; apply it correctly when discussing scientific contexts.

'Insectivore' can describe plants that trap and eat insects, not just animals.

Remember, not all carnivorous plants are insectivores; some eat small animals too.

When discussing insectivore plants, their habitat is important for understanding their diet.
