When you see a cockroach or a bed-hug your first reaction is one of disgust and that is immediately, followed by a desire to exterminate the offensive creature. Later, in the garden, you see a butterfly or a dragonfly, and you are filled with admiration at its beauty and grace.Man’s feelings towards insects are ambivalent. He realizes that some of them for example, -flies and cockroaches arc threats to health. Mosquitoes and tsetse flies have in the past sapped the vitality of entire tribes or nations. Other insects are destructive and cause enormous losses.Such arc locusts, which can wipe out whole areas of crops in minutes; and termites, whose often insidious ravages, unless checked at an early stage, can end in the destructing of entire rows –of houses.Yet men’s ways of living may undergo radical changes if certain species of insects were to become extinct. Bees, for example, pollinate the flowers of many plants which are food sources.In the past, honey was the only sweetening agent known to man in some remote parts of the world. Ants, although they bite and contaminate man’s food are useful scavengers which consume waste material that would otherwise pollute the environment.Entomologists who have studied insect fossils believe them to have inhabited the earth for nearly 400 million years. Insects live in large numbers almost everywhere in the world, from the hottest deserts and the deepest caves to the peaks of-high mountains and even the snows of the polar caps.Some insect communities are complex in organizations, prompting men to believe that they possess an ordered intelligence. But such organized behavior is clearly not due to- developed brains. If we have to compare them to humans, bee and ant groups behave like extreme totalitarian societies. Each bee or ant seems to have a determined role to play instinctively and does so without deviation.The word “instinct” is often applied to insect behavior. But some insect behavior appears so clear that one tends to think that some sort of intelligence is at work. For example, the worker bee, upon relating to the hive after having found a new source of nectar, communicates his discovery by a kind of dance which tells other bees the direction and distance away of the nectar.

Precis

Man has mixed feelings about insects. Some insects like flies and cockroaches are considered disgusting and harmful to health while others like bees and ants are seen in more positive light and are considered crucial for the environment. Through the study of fossils, Entomologists have estimated that insects have inhabited Earth for more than 400 million years. They are found almost everywhere on the Earth, no matter how harsh the climate. Insect communities are complex which sometimes lead the man to believe that insects possess intelligence. While there is some semblance of intelligence in insects, most of their behavior can be attributed to instinct instead.

Nice effort,but provide title.Also,try not to use original words and use synonyms instead of repeating a word.

Insects either evoke diastaste or adoration.Regardless of that,their existence is vital not only for human beings but also an environment in different ways.Those who study insects are of the view that they live very long time ago.They populate very diversified environment.Besides Bugs live in communities and every member has an innate ability to perform a specific task.Man considers it as an intelligence ,but it is not.

Thank you dear, I think I get it now. I had the right ideas but slightly wrong execution
