The scientific name for the study of insects is entomology. Entomology is a branch of biology focused on understanding insect biology, behavior, ecology, and taxonomy. Insects play vital roles in ecosystems, such as pollinators, decomposers, and as parts of food webs. Entomologists study insects to address various issues, including pest control, conservation, and the impacts of climate change on insect populations, highlighting their importance in both natural and agricultural systems.
