Abstract
Harmful insects are the species that cause damage to humans and their livestock, crops and possessions worldwide. Some are direct pests in that they attack the body of the host organism (plant or animal) and either suck sap or blood or eat the tissues. Indirect pests are mostly concerned with the transmission of pathogens or parasites causing disease. In some cases it is the adult insect that causes the damage, in others it is the larval stage (caterpillar, maggot, etc.). Sometimes it is both adult and larva that are pests, and they may act in concert or separately.
