People benefit in so many ways by sharing the world with the insects that can be found in almost every conceivable habitat.  Insects are everywhere and, by far, the most common animal on the planet with more than 1.5 million species named.  Their size, shape, color, biology and life history are so diverse and fascinating. Unfortunately, most people are more aware of the few insects that cause problems than they are of the many beneficial insects.  Uninformed people think that all insects are bad and in need of control.
