Thank you once again for a fascinating article. When I finish one of your pieces I feel as though I have taken a mini-course in entomology. This class of insects is indeed remarkable, but then all forms or life are if we take the time to look. Their adaptations seem infinitely varied.

I like the way you end. Even if they are pests (that is, they negatively affect food production), they have a function in life. To control them we must use intelligence and understanding of how that action will impact other important species. Everything is connected.
