Entomology is the branch of zoology that focuses on the scientific study of insects. The term “entomology” comes from the Greek word entomon, meaning “insect,” and logia, meaning “study.” This field encompasses various aspects such as genetics, taxonomy, morphology, physiology, behavior, and ecology of insects. It also includes applied entomology, which examines the economic impact of insects on human activities and their role in biodiversity and environmental quality.

Entomology definition
Entomologists study over 1.3 million described insect species, which are vital components of ecosystems due to their roles in pollination, waste management, and as food sources for other animals. The study has historical roots dating back to ancient philosophers like Aristotle and has evolved significantly with contributions from scientists such as Carolus Linnaeus. Entomology definition
