WHY INSECTS ARE SO IMPORTANT?


  • They provide food for other animals.
  • They eat dead animals and plants.
  • They help pollinate plants.
  • Some make honey or silk.
Some insects can also be harmful because:
  • They sting.
  • They transmit diseases.
  • They damage crops.
  • They eat our food, clothes and wood.
