Evidence suggests that evolutionary precursors of Homo sapiens were entomophagous and arachnophagous. Insectivory also features to various degrees amongst extant primates , such as marmosets and tamarins , [ 20 ] and some researchers suggest that the earliest primates were nocturnal , arboreal insectivores.

Robber fly feeding on wasp Fried saturniid caterpillars being served on bread for human consumption in Burkina Faso in 2015. Entomophagy (/ ˌ ɛ n t ə ˈ m ɒ f ə dʒ i /, from Greek ἔντομον éntomon, 'insect', and φαγεῖν phagein, 'to eat') is the practice of eating insects.
EPNs had no effect on free-living nematodes. However, there was a reduction in the number of genera and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes, which often remain enclosed within growths on the plant root. The mechanism by which insect parasitic nematodes have an effect on plant parasitic nematodes remains unknown.
Entomophaga is a genus of entomopathogenic fungi in the Entomophthoraceae family and also the order Entomophthorales. [2] This has been supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Gryganskyi et al. 2012).
The ability to sense these parasites can increase fitness for the host targets. Evidence suggests that signal recognition occurs within some hosts, but not others. For example, the ectoparasite Cephalonomia tarsalis is susceptible to B. bassiana but it cannot detect the presence of free conidia of this fungus or infected hosts. [24]
Undertreatment of pain is the absence of pain management therapy for a person in pain when treatment is indicated. Consensus in evidence-based medicine and the recommendations of medical specialty organizations establish guidelines to determine the treatment for pain which health care providers ought to offer.

Entomophthora is a type of fungal pathogen that is parasitic towards flies and other two-winged insects. When entered into a host's body, the fungal pathogen begins to invade the body cells and take control of the hosts, which in turn results in death. [5]
The wasp's predation appears only to affect the cockroach's escape responses. While a stung roach exhibits drastically reduced survival instincts (such as swimming or avoiding pain) for about 72 hours, motor abilities such as flight or flipping over are unimpaired. [11] [12]
