Eighty percent of the world's nations eat insects of 1,000 to 2,000 species. [10] [11] FAO has registered some 1,900 edible insect species and estimates that there were, in 2005, some two billion insect consumers worldwide. FAO suggests eating insects as a possible solution to environmental degradation caused by livestock production. [12]
Cercopidae are the largest family of Cercopoidea, a xylem-feeding insect group, commonly called froghoppers. [2] They belong to the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha.A 2023 phylogenetic study of the family suggested the elevation of subfamily Ischnorhininae to full family status as Ischnorhinidae, leaving a monophyletic Cercopinae.
Chlaenius circumscriptus preying upon a tree frog, Hyla savignyi. Epomis is a subgenus of ground beetle genus Chlaenius. The larvae of this subgenus are notable for being obligate role-reversal predators. [1] Amphibians such as frogs are normally predators of beetles; however, Epomis larvae feed exclusively on amphibians. [2] [3]

Like many other frogs Breviceps fuscus is an insectivore which feeds on small insects, spiders, insect larvae and worms. [9] The main source of protein for Breviceps fuscus is crickets. If they eat crickets bigger in size they can go through impaction. Impaction can cause blockage of the intestine which can cause death. [13]
The movements of the frog do not stimulate the host tarantulas to attack and there is an unknown chemical present in the frog's skin that acts as a cue to the tarantulas that this species is not prey. [9] The spiders did attempt to catch and eat five species of frogs from the families Bufonidae, Hylidae, and Leptodactylidae. It is noted that ...
