[7] [14] Caterpillars may too be taken from trees. [14] Usually these hunting variations are correlated with poor weather hampering the capture of preferred prey. [1] [18] Tawny owls eat worms with relative frequency, as they often hear them apparently from below the surface and snatch them up from shallow dirt or below leaf litter. Their worm ...
Malpighia emarginata is a host plant for the caterpillars of the white-patched skipper (Chiomara asychis), [25] Florida duskywing (Ephyriades brunneus), [26] and brown-banded skipper (Timochares ruptifasciatus). [27] Larvae of the acerola weevil (Anthonomus macromalus [d]) feed on the fruits, while adults consume young leaves. [28]

Termites are a group of detritophagous eusocial insects which consume a variety of decaying plant material, generally in the form of wood, leaf litter, and soil humus.They are distinguished by their moniliform antennae and the soft-bodied and often unpigmented worker caste for which they have been commonly termed "white ants"; however, they are not ants, being more closely related to ...

Ethologically, a cat's human keeper functions as a mother surrogate. [101]
A leaf (pl.: leaves) is a principal appendage of the stem of a vascular plant, [1] usually borne laterally above ground and specialized for photosynthesis.Leaves are collectively called foliage, as in "autumn foliage", [2] [3] while the leaves, stem, flower, and fruit collectively form the shoot system.

Wild boars have caused a great decrease in over 300 animal or plant species, 250 being endangered or threatened. [114] The boars cause many habitats to become less diverse because of their feeding behaviors and predation. Wild boars will dig up eggs of species and eat them, as well as killing other wildlife for food.
