ENTOMOLOGY

Entomology

Entomology is the scientific study of insects, a branch of arthropodology, which in turn is a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was more vague, and historically the definition of entomology included the study of terrestrial animals in other arthropod groups or other phyla, such as arachnids, myriapods, earthworms, land snails, and slugs. This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use.
