Backswimmers are carnivorous, eating other insects, tadpoles, small fish and crustaceans. Researchers believe that backswimmers detect their prey by feeling vibrations made in the water by the other creature. Once the prey has been caught by the front legs of the backswimmer, it inserts its beak-like mouth and pumps digestive juices into its victim, dissolving the insides. The backswimmer then sucks out the digested innards.
