The field that studies insects is known as?

• A. Entomology
• B. Ecology
• C. Ornithology
• D. Herpetology

Answer: (A)

Entomology is the field that studies insects. It’s a branch of zoology that covers what insects are, how they are built, how they grow and develop, how they behave, and how they interact with other organisms and ecosystems. It also includes taxonomy and practical areas like pest management and pollination. Ecology looks at organisms and their environment more broadly, ornithology is the study of birds, and herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians. So, the study of insects is entomology.
