what kind or type of insects does a carrion eats?

Answer 1

You have not said what type of animal you are talking about. It could be anything from a Carrion Beetle to a Carrion Crow. The word Carrion means dead meat, many insects and animals eat carrion.

If you mean a Carrion Beetle, it represents up to 300 species of beetle that eat anything from insects and snails to dead animals.

So ... "Without knowing more, I can't tell you for sure!".

Answer 2

Carrion is the carcass of a dead animal that becomes food for other scavenging animals such as hyenas, vultures, Tasmanian Devils, Blue tongued skinks, or Andean and Californian condors. Carrion is an important food source for large carnivores and omnivores in most ecosystems.

The carrion beetles are a group of beetles from the family Silphidae. They are important for recycling animal remains.

Carrion can be a source of disease.

Some plants and fungi fake the scent of decomposing carrion to attract insects to aid in reproduction. These include the Titan arum and stinkhorn mushrooms.

Answer 3

Carrion beetles (Family Silphidae) are a minor group of beetles, consisting of about 300 species. The name "carrion beetles" is not accurate, because many species don't feed on carrion, but are carnivorous.

The genera Phosphuga, Ablattaria and Silpha are mainly snail hunters. They spray digestive fluid into the snail-shell, and afterwards they suck the prey out of its shell. A very widely distributed European species is Phosphuga atrata.

The carrion beetles of the genus Xylodrepa hunt caterpillars, while Aclypea and Blitophaga are considered as pests, because they feed on garden plants.

The best-known members of the family are the burying beetles (Nicrophorus Fabricius , 1775), which are indeed carrion-eating beetles.

Answer 4

Silphidae beetles love carrion.

But a carrion can be a raptor and not just a "bug."

I've hunted a lot and seen the carcasses of mammals (deer,wild boar, coyotes etc.) filled with lots of little bugs and worms and larvae. In the wild, they represented, usually, the last eating rights of the Kingdom. I have usually seen coyotes, foxes, lynx, bobcats, pumas, ravens, gulls, jays etc. etc. get the most. It's after they've abandoned a carcass that you'll see the little critters worm their way into the find.

Answer 5

The definition of carrion is dead and rotting flesh, there are birds referred to as carrion birds because that is what they eat, as well as carrion beetles and they eat dead and rotting flesh, that's why they are called "carrion" beetles.

Answer 6

Carrions do not eat. Their dead!!!!!!!
