Why It Sucks to Be Born as a Predator Bug

Why It Sucks to Be Born as a Predator Bug You hatch into a world where every meal has to be hunted. Armed with a piercing beak, you stalk caterpillars, beetle larvae, and other insects before injecting digestive saliva that turns their insides into liquid. But you're not the only hunter. Birds, spiders, praying mantises, and larger predators are always looking for their next meal. One mistake can end your life before you ever reproduce. This episode follows the incredible life of the Spined Soldier Bug, one of nature's most effective insect predators.
