Entomology
Entomology is the scientific study of insects. Insects have many kinds of interactions with humans and other forms of life on earth, so it is an important specialty within biology; unlike many other fields however, entomologists include both persons studying insects for their own sake, and those employed by commercial concerns interested in the control of insects.
Taxonomic specialization
Many entomologists specialize in a single order or even a family of insects, and a number of these subspecialties have their own names, derived from the scientific name of the group:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
- Apiology (or melittology) - bees
- Coleopterology - beetles
- Heteropterology - true bugs
- Lepidopterology - moths and butterflies
- Myrmecology - ants
- Orthopterology - grasshoppers, crickets, katydids
