Entomology is the scientific study of insects - animals without backbones (invertebrates) that have three body parts, six legs, three or four life stages and may have one or two pairs of wings. The word insect comes from the Latin and Greek for "cut into sections."
There are more species of insects on this planet than all other animals combined, including 97% of all animal species (the exceptions are the vertebrates, animals with backbones like fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals) as well as being the most diverse group of animals on Earth. Insects include beetles, bees, wasps, ants, flies, mosquitoes, butterflies and moths, dragonflies, praying mantis, grasshoppers; spiders are in the class Arachinida, having two body segments and eight legs. Entomologists are the people who study insects.

Entomology - Insect Orders
Insects have short life spans and reproduce in great numbers. These two facts allow a much greater rate of evolution and adaptation that in other organisms. Having existed since prehistoric times, insects have evolved and adapted into highly specific and varied forms. The majority of these can be grouped into one of seven orders; odonata, hamiptera, coleoptera, lepidoptera, diptera, hymenoptera, and orthoptera.

DDT (Dichloro - Diphenyl - Trichloroethane) is a synthetic pesticide used in WWII to control mosquitoes that spread insect born diseases like malaria and typhus. After WWII it was used as an agricultural insecticide. In 1962 Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring exposed the environmental impact of using DDT without understanding the full effect on ecology and human health. |
