insect science

Insect science, or entomology, studies insects—their biology, behavior, ecology, and interactions with the environment. It explores how insects develop, reproduce, and adapt, as well as their roles in ecosystems, such as pollination, decomposition, and serving as food for other animals. Entomologists also examine insects' impacts on agriculture, human health, and biodiversity, helping develop ways to manage pests and protect beneficial species. This field combines biology, ecology, and applied sciences to understand and utilize insects responsibly, contributing to environmental sustainability and advancements in medicine, agriculture, and conservation.
