Insects as food
Insects serve as food to many other organisms including vertebrates, invertebrates, and other insects. Insects are an abundant source of proteins and fat. Without insects, many other animals would starve.
Organisms that feed on insects are known as insectivores and the act of feeding on insects is also known as entomophagy.
