Insectivora \In`sec*tiv"o*ra\, n. pl. [NL., from L. insectum an
   insect + vorare to devour.] (Zool.)
   1. An order of mammals which feed principally upon insects.
      [1913 Webster]

   Note: They are mostly of small size, and their molar teeth
         have sharp cusps. Most of the species burrow in the
         earth, and many of those of cold climates hibernate in
         winter. The order includes the moles, shrews,
         hedgehogs, tanrecs, and allied animals, also the
         colugo.
         [1913 Webster]

   2. A division of the Chiroptera, including the common or
      insect-eating bats.

INSECTIVORA, n.

    "See," cries the chorus of admiring preachers,
    "How Providence provides for all His creatures!"
    "His care," the gnat said, "even the insects follows:
    For us He has provided wrens and swallows."
