From the original description.

and what is the biggest predator among insects?

Yes, that's a good question. I'll answer for the beetles: The largest steed is the Manticore family. And according to ground beetles, it may be the Indonesian genus Mormolice, but if I'm not mistaken, it is a mushroom-eater.

In my opinion, the largest predator is the Brazilian water bug Belostoma grande Lucas 1849.
According to some reports, it reaches 11.5 centimeters!

About mantises say that even Ischnomantis gigas is the largest.
But they are all so skinny, rather not the largest, but the longest.
As for grasshoppers, Saga ephippigera have impressive dimensions, but they are not very long, up to 10 cm
