Commercial, conventional production controls undesirable insects through the use of chemicals. Organic production tries to control them by mechanical, cultural, botanical and organic spray, and biological means. For example, biological controls involve the introduction, or encouragement, of natural enemies in the environment that's being ravaged by the undesirable insect. These enemies are predators, and their prey is the undesirable insect. The predators also are called beneficial insects, for the benefit that they bring of an environment that's back in balance. One of the best known of the predatory, beneficial insects is the ladybug, who is the voracious biological control to the most undesrable aphid.
Stick insects are preyed upon by the praying mantis, lizards such as the chameleon, and insect-eating birds.

Ants, fish, frogs, mice, moles, rats, salamanders, shrews, skunks, toads, wasps and woodpeckers are predators of beetles. The exact natural enemy depends upon the precise species of beetle. Members of other and of the same Coleoptera insect order species also number among a beetle's predators.

Yes. Platypuses are predators of crustaceans, annelid worms and insect larvae which live on the bottom of freshwater creeks and rivers.
