To make a pesticide less harmful to non-pest organisms, you would want it to have a targeted mode of action specific to the pest species, break down quickly in the environment to minimize residual effects, and have low toxicity levels for non-target organisms. Additionally, using biological pesticides derived from natural sources can be a more environmentally friendly option.

Which organisms would share more characteristics in common those in the same class or the same family?

Organisms in the same family would share more characteristics in common than those in the same class. Family is a more specific taxonomic rank than class, so organisms within the same family are more closely related and share more similar characteristics. Organisms within the same class may belong to different families and, therefore, not necessarily share as many common characteristics.
