Entomophagous
Definition:
(a.) Feeding on insects; insectivorous.

Insectivorous
Definition:
(a.) Feeding or subsisting on insects; carnivorous.
(a.) plants which have some special adaptation for catching and digesting insects, as the sundew, Venus's flytrap, Sarracenia, etc.
(a.) the Insectivora, and to many bats, birds, and reptiles.
