From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Entomology
is the
science
of
insects
. People who study insects are called entomologists. Insects have been studied since
prehistoric
times, but it was not until as early as the
16th century
that insects were scientifically studied.
Some entomologists study how insects are related to each other. Others study how insects live and reproduce because we do not know very much about some kinds of insects. Other entomologists study ways to keep insects away from
crops
that people use for
food
. There are billions of unknown species throughout the
world
and taxonomists categorize the newly found.
Entomologists meet to talk about their study of insects and to share
ideas
, just as all
scientists
do.
