It is predicted that regional species richness should explain local species richness of herbivorous insects ('proportional sampling model'). Botanical insecticides can influence the behaviour and development of the herbivorous insects that search for or use the plant for their reproduction. Intestines of herbivorous insects are often filled with fibrous material that is probably not very valuable for bats. Although insectivorous bats are particularly abundant and diverse in the tropics, their impact on herbivorous insects is little understood. Diet analysis revealed a high percentage of herbivorous insects, constituting more than half (51%) of all prey and over 70% of prey biomass. Assessing the potential impact of gleaning insectivorous bats on herbivorous insects requires a detailed dietary analysis of the bats and feeding rates. Our preliminary estimates point to a potentially substantial role of neotropical bats as predators of herbivorous insects. Herbivorous insects may be restricted to a certain habitat if they are specialized on a host plant that is specialized to that habitat. Even in the case of the living ferns and cycads the associated herbivorous insects appear to be relatively recent colonizations rather than archaic associations. Hence, gleaning insectivorous bats could play a previously underestimated role in the reduction of herbivorous insects. Gleaning bats: underestimated reducers of herbivorous insects? More detailed experimental study of aphid populations that fail to increase or fail to crash will shed light on this aspect of population regulation in herbivorous insects. There are f ew other groups of herbivorous insects that can be sampled so easily and comprehensively in tropical forest habitats as the lureresponsive fruit flies. Some plants have special nectar exuding structures, extrafloral nectaries that provide food for ants, which in turn protect the plant from more damaging herbivorous insects.
