Abstract

We are constantly amazed by various aesthetic and utilitarian services rendered by the members of class Insecta. Not just services, but they also enlighten us with fundamental philosophies of life. As an illustration, the metamorphosis of caterpillars to stunning butterflies whispers into our ears the significance of transformation and hope, ants moving in rows underpins the relevance of teamwork. They also form an integral component of the food web and act as scavengers. An attempt has been made to showcase the grandeurs of insects. Above all, the greatest challenge to us is conserving them as the very existence of insects is obligatory, for humankind will disappear without them!. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
