As the most numerous and varied collection of animals on Earth, insects play a significant role in both freshwater and terrestrial environments. They are found almost everywhere, in almost every sort of habitat and geographic area, from lush lakeshores to parched deserts, thick rainforests to metropolitan settings. Their extensive range highlights how remarkably resilient and adaptive they are to a variety of environmental circumstances.
Insects have captured people’s interest and imagination throughout human history on a global scale. From prehistoric societies to contemporary ones, people have always been fascinated by the complex shapes, activities, and ecological relationships of insects. Their ability to fly, elaborate mating habits, and sophisticated social systems have been as inspiration for both scientific research and mythology.
