** Hornet, being part spider, is an obligate carnivore and liquivore. She cannot digest plant-based food at all, and can only digest animal-derived matter if it has been liquefied and partly pre-digested. Normally, she eats by simply hunting of her own accord in the way that spiders do -- that is, webbing up her prey, injecting it with digestive enzymes, and then drinking up the remains -- but in Bugaria, where carnivorous bugs are feared and hated, this causes her problems.
** Carnus the carrion beetle has a similar issue. He's a scavenger, which means that he can only digest decomposing meat. Unlike Hornet, who can at least hunt for herself, he's often reduced to robbing graves in order to eat the corpses.

Without lysine supplements provided by scientists on the island, they would all die off. At least, that's the plan -- in practice, herbivorous dinosaurs adapted to feed on lysine-rich plants, while the predators get their lysine from their prey. Notably, in real life, no animals can actually produce lysine fast enough to meet metabolic demands, and all rely on their diet to supply themselves with it.
