Well when I reworded that post, I was generally referring to boas and pythons. ;]
I know there are some snakes out there that eat insects (I was actually reading on it a little bit ago through Wikipedia).
But my explanation of how their design was not meant to capture small insects but to swallow and grab things of larger quantity.
