Does anyone know of some useful insects, aside from butterflies, bees, moths, etc.?
-
Silk worms (actually the larvae of the silk moth)
Ladybirds (ladybugs in US) - they eat aphids which are plant pests.
Termites - they clear dead wood and return it to the ecosystem. Also they are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world.
The cochineal insect - it is crushed to make cochineal dye, a red dye used in food and cosmetics.
