Abstract
The vast majority of the world’s species are insects (at least 80%; Mawdsley and Stork 1995). Their importance is overwhelming by almost any measure. For example, insects and other arthropods contribute substantially to standing biomass; 1,000 kg/ha is an estimate for the United States (Pimentel et al. 1980). In most terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems they play critical roles as prey, predators, herbivores and pollinators (Free 1970; Debach...
