How to approach it
Build a candidate list in three passes. First, sweep the groups you already know and write down every species you can defend with a real dietary record. Second, push into the specialized literature — natural history notes, diet studies, museum species accounts — where the feeding habits of overlooked organisms are described in detail. Third, test each name against the wording of the question: is the insect feeding regular and documented, or merely possible? Keep the entries that survive, then choose the one you can defend most precisely at species level, because a specific, verifiable organism reads better than a broad label and stands out from the crowd of obvious submissions.
Get a hint
Begin with the whole animal kingdom rather than a shortlist of famous predators, and let dietary evidence — stomach contents, field notes, species accounts — decide which names deserve a place.
A little more
Then look for narrow specialization: creatures whose anatomy, activity cycle or hunting behaviour is built around capturing small prey, so the habit repeats across seasons instead of surfacing once.
One step further
Finish by sharpening the name to species level and checking that a published account confirms the diet, since a precise, verifiable entry is what lifts a response above the obvious crowd.

Why these answers count
The scoring split is unusually lopsided. Of the 41,182 answers that cleared the top band, 40,754 earned 85 points, which means the puzzle treated almost every well-documented animal as equally valid — the reward came from finding something real, not from picking a household name. Rarity on its own bought nothing. The single 100-point entry, Bolas spider, shows what did pay: a specialist whose entire hunting method is built around insect prey, so the dietary claim is not merely true but vivid and specific. Names such as 15-spotted Money Spider, Abakapa Rain Frog or Abbott's Babbler sat in the 85-point group alongside thousands of others, well documented but not startling. The 427 answers at 60 points mark the lower edge of the top band, a reminder that a correct but predictable entry still trails the specialist tier. Practical reading: a precise species with a documented habit beats a broad, obvious label every time.
