AI overview

I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The provided context only shows an image caption of a European hedgehog, but doesn't explain what Insectivora is, its biological significance, or why it matters. To write an accurate, factual overview as requested, I would need contextual information that actually describes Insectivora.

The order Insectivora (from Latin insectum "insect" and vorare "to eat") is an obsolete biological grouping within the class of mammals. Some species have now been moved out, leaving the remaining ones in the order Eulipotyphla within the larger clade Laurasiatheria, which makes up one of the basal clades of placental mammals.
