| In the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, distinctions between mates and predators are potentially difficult to make. |
| Any animal fairly bristling with long, pointed horns and spikes simply looks ready to fend off any and all would-be predators. |
| Voles are an important source of food for many predators, including snakes, hawks, owls, coyotes, weasels, foxes, mink and badgers. |
| Others, such as the clam worm, are active, mobile predators that capture prey in jaws attached to their pharynges. |
| There is a concern that weatherfish could be predators of native fishes or parasite and disease vectors. |
| Tussock moth larvae that are not killed by parasitic wasps and predators turn into brightly marked caterpillars. |
