摘要

Historically, entomologists have played pivotal roles in elucidating the biological nature of insects and integrating that biological knowledge into the greater lexicon of natural history. Insects have always been a matter of great curiosity because they have been a source of perennial difficulty for mankind as sources of disease and depredation of the food supply. On the other side of the ledger, insects are themselves a source of food, serve as pollinators of crops, and are critical elements of ecosystems. Insects also pique our interest because they possess so many characteristics (also rendered as contrivances or adaptations) for which there are no demonstrable cognates in more familiar species. The exocuticle, metamorphosis, and a variety of morphological and behavioral traits that are unique to arthropods stand out. Finally, the incredible diversity of insects has brought them to our attention from at least the time of Aristotle (384-322 BCE), whose musings in biology did not neglect what hedefined as the "Phylum Insecta" (Thompson 1913).
