Do insects eat viruses?
Insects do not eat viruses in the traditional sense, as they lack the necessary mechanisms to digest them. However, some insects can ingest viruses when feeding on infected plants or other organisms. Certain insects, like aphids, can also act as vectors, transmitting viruses between plants. While they don't consume viruses for nutrition, their interactions with them can significantly impact ecosystems and agricultural systems.

Can viruses or insects live in rust?
No, viruses and insects cannot live in rust because rust is a type of corrosion that occurs on metals, particularly iron and steel, when exposed to oxygen and moisture. Viruses require a living host to replicate, while insects have specific habitat and food requirements that are not met by rust.

How could viruses be helpful?
Some viruses target harmful organisms. For example, bacteriophage viruses kill bacteria. Other viruses might kill mosquitoes or weevils or other harmful insects without hurting any other species.
