Insects do not eat viruses in the traditional sense, as they lack the necessary mechanisms to digest them. However, some insects can ingest viruses when feeding on infected plants or other organisms. Certain insects, like aphids, can also act as vectors, transmitting viruses between plants. While they don't consume viruses for nutrition, their interactions with them can significantly impact ecosystems and agricultural systems.
