Entomology

Plate from Transactions of the Entomological Society, 1848.

Entomology is the scientific study of insects. At some 1.3 million described species, insects account for more than two-thirds of all known organisms, some dating back around 400 million years. They have many kinds of interactions with humans and other forms of life on earth.
