In this context, the correct choice is © its. The word “its” is the possessive form referring to the larva’s relationship to the predator, indicating ownership of the action.

A fun fact about nature’s food chain is that it can be quite the dramatic thriller! Many organisms, like that larva, have developed some wild survival strategies. For instance, certain caterpillars can survive being eaten by a bird only to later feast on the bird’s feathers. It’s like a plot twist directly from a nature documentary!

Interestingly, beetles are among the most diverse and resilient insects on the planet, with over 350,000 species known. Many of them have unique feeding strategies to ensure survival in their specific environments. Some are scavengers, while others are predators, further adding to the thrilling dynamics of their ecosystems!
