A Career Guide to Entomology: Studying the World of Insects
Entomology is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology dedicated to understanding the most diverse group of animals on Earth. Entomologists explore the biology, behavior, ecology, evolution, and classification of insects, which account for roughly two-thirds of all known animal and plant species. This field examines everything from the intricate social structures of ants and bees to the critical role insects play in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and food sources.
