How do we perceive insects? As pests, as nuisance or as species sharing and shaping our ecosystems!
Insects may be tiny, but they’re ecological titans—nature’s unsung superheroes, in the role of hunters, fighters, workers and Queens too.
Found in every terrestrial habitat—from deserts to mountaintops in their brief lives they play their parts perfectly as pollinators, as decomposers, as recyclers as soil workers. Their presence signals a healthy, functioning ecosystems.
insects are the invisible scaffolding of life on Earth. Without them, ecosystems would collapse, food chains would falter, and biodiversity would dwindle.
Insect Ecology or “Insectology” is an attempt to understand the interesting lives of insects.
They may be small, but they shape the world.
