Flies are one of the most abundant and important groups of animals. The health of our world is in part dependent on these wonderful creatures.
This order, which includes the bees, wasps, parasitoid wasps, ants, and sawflies, is known especially for its many beneficial species.
Lepidoptera is the second largest order in terms of number of species described. It includes many notorious agricultural pests, but most are butterflies and moths that are highly prized for their beauty.
