The relationship between humans and insects can be antagonistic. Only about 6% of people said that they enjoyed having insects in their yards. But they fail to see how these animals often provide useful services, for example, recycling of organic waste, producing valuable things like silk, honey, and natural dyes, and providing invaluable nutrition to the majority of the human population. A very few of the million species known are crop and forest pests, and most insect-human interactions are neutral. Most importantly, insects exist in their own right as members of our complicated ecological systems. And their natural histories are invariably fascinating and worthy of our attention, as I hope you will find in this class.
