Natural predators of black and yellow garden spiders include birds, wasps, and some insect-eating mammals like shrews and rodents. These predators may hunt the spiders for food, leading to a decrease in their population in certain areas.
Yes, an insect's color can help keep it safe by providing camouflage against predators or by warning predators of its toxicity. Some insects may also mimic the colors of other insects that are more dangerous to deter predators from attacking them.
Yes, fire ants have several natural enemies including certain insect predators, birds, and parasitic flies. These predators and parasites help regulate fire ant populations in their native habitats.
A brightly colored insect resting on a leaf is likely to be a species that uses its colors as a warning signal to predators. This warning coloration, known as aposematism, is often seen in insects that are toxic or distasteful to predators in order to deter them from attacking. Some examples of brightly colored insects that use aposematism include ladybugs and milkweed bugs.
Wetas are brown in color as a form of camouflage, as it helps them blend in with their natural environment such as soil, leaves, and tree bark. This camouflage helps them avoid predators and increases their chances of survival.

Natural predators of black and yellow garden spiders include birds, wasps, and some insect-eating mammals like shrews and rodents. These predators may hunt the spiders for food, leading to a decrease in their population in certain areas.
Natural predators will keep unwanted insect numbers in balance. However, as most crop systems are monocrops (where a single crop is grown in an area) natural predators are unable to survive and no longer have an affect they use to on pests
It depends on the species. Insect larvae may be decomposers, predators, herbivores, or parasites.
The selective use of DDT can kill off predators or parasites that control insect populations, leading to an increase in the target insect species. This disruption in the natural balance can result in a population surge.
Stick insects are preyed upon by the praying mantis, lizards such as the chameleon, and insect-eating birds.
They are insect predators-aphids are a staple of their diet.
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.

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.
