The insects are small invertebrate animals. Certain insects do nothing but crawl like the worms, others are flying like the butterfly, or fly and crawl like the cockroach. Some insects can sting like the bumblebee, others as the horseflies bite, and some pinch, but the majority are harmless.
Certain insects are harmful, as the carpenter ants which consume the wood of your house, and others are useful like the praying mantis or the spider which are voracious insect destroyers.
For the harmful insects which infest in the house, there are insect traps, products and repellants insecticides that work like moth balls. For the insects which live on the animals, like the flea, flea collars, flea powder and flea treatments are available to eliminate the insect.
Naturally there are useful insects, as the ladybug which eats the plant lice, the mantis which eats the grasshoppers, the spider which captures the harmful flying insects like the flies with its web.
The bee is surely one of the insects most useful for man by his production of honey and beeswax. It also takes part in the pollination of the flowers and other plants. A colony of bees also is very organized, like the ants.
The insects like the cockroach, the mites, the bugs, the lice, the ticks, termites, the lice and well of others, are regarded as parasites or parasitic insects and we try to eliminate them. |
