The Class Insecta is the largest and most diverse branch of the eukaryotic(ie multi-celled organisms) animal kingdom. An insect is described as having no more and no less than 6 legs, (three pairs), an abdomen and a thorax as well as an immature and mature life cycle with maturity gained through a single stage or multiple stage of metamorphosis.

So to answer your question, a bee is an insect as is a wasp, so is a butterfly. An ant is also an insect as is a mosquito, a beetle and a preying mantis.

So, it just depends what insect you define as harmless. Personally i wouldn't want to annoy soldier or fire ants nor "killer" bees!!
