insect taxonomy

Insect taxonomy is the scientific system used to classify and organize insects based on their characteristics and relationships. It groups insects into categories such as species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom, starting from very specific to broad. For example, all insects belong to the class Insecta, and within that, they are divided into orders like butterflies or beetles. This system helps scientists identify, study, and understand the diversity, evolution, and ecological roles of insects. Taxonomy provides a structured way to organize insect information and track their diversity across the world.
