Insects can help the environement A LOT!
Many of the insects are thought to be pests by humans. But there are hundreds of insects that help the human race in various ways. Insects are necessary to pollinate flowering plants, without the active help of insects thousands of plant varieties would have become extinct. Insects produce substances such as wax, honey and silk which are then used by humans in a large number of applications and for direct consumption. Some insects act as scavengers, thus helping to maintain the ecological balance on the earth.
The ecosystem heavily relies on insects for decomposition, nutrient and energy recycling, soil aeration, and pollination. Insects are helpful as saprophytes collecting and recycling garbage wastes. Dead organisms are broken down by insects and this assists in the formation of new life.
