Although the diet of an owl depends on the species, these animals have certainly been known to eat insects as well as worms, spiders, lizards, frogs, and even small birds. Owls are able to kill and eat prey that is just as large if not larger than they are. These animals are extremely efficient hunters, and with keen night vision as well as razor sharp talons, they are able to spot prey from a very long distance.
When an owl sees an insect or some other type of prey on the ground, they swoop in and knock it down with its talons. If their prey is not immediately killed, the owl snaps its neck or finds another way of killing the creature before swallowing it whole.
