Pollinator of Crops
Many plants depend on
insects to transfer pollen
as they forage.
Many insects that
perform this job for
flowering plants, such as
honey bees, butterflies,
flies, wasps, beetles and
even Hemiptera and
thrips.
Predators of Pests
Insect predators can be found throughout plants
Some are useful natural enemies of insect pests
example: lady beetles, ground beetles, rove
beetles, flower bugs and other predatory true
bugs, lacewings, dragonfly, praying mantis and
hover flies.

List of Pests and Predator Insects
Parasites of Pests
Parasitoids are insects with an immature stage
that develops on or in an insect host, and
ultimately kills the host
The most valuable insect parasites belong to
the following groups:
Tachinid Flies (Diptera)
Ichneumonid Wasps (Hymenoptera)
Braconid Wasps (Hymenoptera)
Chalcid Wasps (Hymenoptera)
Examples of Insects as Parasites of Pests
a. The production of
raw silk from 2
silkworm.

1. Mulberry silkworm

Human Food Value
There are 1,462 recorded species of edible
insects some of them are crickets,
grasshoppers, beetle and moth larvae and
termites.
Insects could be a very nutritious food that rich
of protein, carbohydrates, calories, fat,
calcium, phosporous, etc
Insects are an important food for many
vertebrates, including birds, amphibians,
reptiles, fish and mammals
Servings of insects from various
countries
Scavangers
Large number of
insects thrive on dead
carcasses, left over
organic matter or
excreta and in the
process clean the
environment
.
Medical Uses of Insects
Ethnoentomology studies the relationship
between insects and humans.
Blister Beetles : for being an aphrodisiac, helped
alleviate pain for people experience kidney stones,
urinary tract infections and burns.
Bees : reduce swelling alleviate the pain of people
suffering from rheumatoid arthritis
Silkworms: offer tremendous pain relief for people
with things like back injuries and back pain
Grasshopper : offer pain relief of migrain
ants : can help with arthritis sufferers

Examples of the Ways of Controlling Pest
Nilaparvata lugens
Symptoms of an attack
1.Leaves and stems of hollow plants
2.The leaves and stems then dry and
eventually die
Symptoms of an attack
1. Sucking the grains of rice that is still
liquid
2. Seeds that have been smoked will
become empty, rather empty, or clay
3. The skin of the seeds will be blackish.
4. Leptocorisa acuta, (nymph) is more
active than adult (imago), but adult
animals can damage more great because
of their longer life.
5. Leptocorisa acuta, adult can also eat
the seeds. Seeds that have hardened,
namely by removing enzymes that can
digest carbohydrates
Factors that support the pest population are as follows:
- Rice fields are very close to forestry
- The population of weeds around the rice fields is quite high
- Planting not simultaneously
Symptoms of an attack:
1. Mites (small lice) may be found
in a leaf down to suck the leaf.
2. In the leaf-infested lice will
occur small patches then the leaves
will become yellow and then fall.
