Abstract
In this final chapter we shall focus on those insects that Man describes, in his economically minded way, as beneficial or harmful, though it should be appreciated from the outset that these constitute only a very small fraction of the total number of species. Further, it must also be realized that the ecological principles that govern the interactions between insects and Man are no different from those between insects and any other living species, even though Man with his modern technology can modify considerably the nature of these interactions.
