  Entomology Summary
Thus, agricultural entomologists devise methods to limit insect damage by using a variety of techniques such as pesticides, adjusting crop practices (e.g., crop rotation), and encouraging natural predators and diseases of the pest insects (i.e., biological control).
Many entomologists are employed in the study of insects that are directly beneficial or harmful to humans.
For example, the approximate time of death or whether or not a victim was alive during a fire may be determined by using facts such as what stage of the life cycle an insect found at the scene is in.

 Entomology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The study of beneficial insects is primarily focused on their ecology and life habits, the primary concern being the understanding of how to raise them and make them more productive (often as imported biological control agents), or protect them from human disturbance, if they are native species such as wild bees.
Many entomologists specialize in a single order or even a family of insects, and a number of these subspecialties are given their own informal names, typically (but not always) derived from the scientific name of the group:
