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.

How do animals help pollination?

Most animals actually don't realize that they are helping the pollination of a plant. For example, a bee usually lands on a flower to take some nectar, but its body unintentionally takes some pollen along and then, while they are flying to another flower, spread the pollen to the pistil of the second flower (or sometimes also of the first flower). Animals have a large role in pollination. Most pollinations happen because of animals like bees. Some are also caused by the wind, but if there isn't any animals helping the pollination, it would be hard for the seeds to grow.
