Abstract

Insects represent the most populous group of animals on Earth. Over 75% (over 932,000 out of approximately 1,250,000) of all described animal species are insects. Insects occupy and play an important role in virtually every terrestrial ecosystem and many aquatic ecosystems. From worldwide economic and human health perspectives, approximately 20% of all crops are lost because of insects and one in six individuals has an insect-borne illness. Clearly, from both prevalence and relevance points of view, insects merit our attention and study.
