Many animals feed on pests and help maintain ecological balance, including:
Dragonflies and butterflies: They are insect predators and feed mainly on a variety of small insects and pests.
Spiders: Many spider species feed on a variety of insects, such as flies and mosquitoes.
Ants: Ant colonies eat insects and other pests, helping to keep their numbers down.
Birds: Many birds, such as swallows, sparrows and hummingbirds, as well as some predatory birds, hunt pests and are natural pest controllers for farm fields and gardens.
Salamanders and Frogs: In aquatic environments, salamanders and frogs prey on mosquito larvae and other aquatic insects, helping to control pest populations.
Butterfly and moth larvae: Some butterfly and moth larvae feed on the leaves of plants, thus providing some control over plant pests.
These animals play a role in controlling pest populations through various means, including predation, parasitism, antagonism, etc., and are of great significance to agriculture and ecosystems.
