Moles are family Talpidae animals who reside in burrows underground. They rarely emerge from their cozy abodes down in the dirt, where they feast predominantly on creepy crawlies. Moles are noteworthy not only for their penchants for eating insects but also for their miniscule eyes, sturdy physiques and short limbs. True Insectivores
Moles are generally insectivores, with various exceptions. Their feeding plans are made up of the many invertebrates -- including insects -- they come across while digging around in the soil. Moles across the board frequently consume insects of many varieties, including those who inhabit the water. Beetles, for one, are often a major component of their diets. The independent animals also often eat the larvae of insects such as caddisflies, order Trichoptera.
