Insects as Weapons

"Insects as weapons" refers to the use of insects to harm or disrupt enemies in military or biological warfare. This can involve deploying insects that carry diseases, such as mosquitoes spreading malaria or dengue fever, to target populations. Insect-based methods can also include swarming strategies to destroy crops or spread pests. The concept raises ethical concerns about the unintended consequences of using living organisms in conflicts, as it can affect not only the intended victims but also the environment and public health. Overall, it highlights the intersection of biology and warfare strategies.
