Meanings of order insectivora in English

Others (Macrotarsi) are nearer to the Insectivora, others again (Chiromys) to the Rodents.

Among the Insectivora, the alpine shrew (Sorex alpinus) is restricted to the Alps.

And the hedgehog, like most of the order Insectivora, is cursed with the temper of Eblis, too.

The members of this order live very largely on insects and worms, and the name Insectivora means insect-eating.

Now look at the Galeopithecus or so-called flying lemur, which was formerly ranked among bats, but is now believed to belong to the Insectivora.
