Home›Insect and Mite Pests of Crops›Agent Kind›InsectConceptInsectPest and Pathogen Agent ConceptsReference and ClassificationDevelopingInsects are invertebrates of the class Insecta and the largest group within the arthropod phylum. The cited article says insects have an exoskeleton, a three-part body of head, thorax and abdomen, three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and a pair of antennae, that they are the most diverse group of animals, with more than a million described species representing more than half of all animal species, and that the insect nervous system consists of a brain and a ventral nerve cord. It is the insect half of the combined insect or mite value. Pests and diseases recorded in the atlas as caused by an insect are grouped under this concept.InsectConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)InsectFilter Results34 entriesDisease FamilyAllAphid, Planthopper and Bug Pests (9)Beetle and Weevil Pests (9)Fruit Fly Pests (3)Locust Pests (2)Mite Pests (2)Moth and Caterpillar Pests (8)Type/ClassificationAllAphid, Planthopper and Bug Pests (9)Beetle and Weevil Pests (9)Fruit Fly Pests (3)Locust Pests (2)Mite Pests (2)Moth and Caterpillar Pests (8)Where FoundAllAfrica (9)Albania (1)Algeria (2)Angola (1)Asia (9)Australia (4)Australia (2)Bangladesh (2)Bhutan (1)Cambodia (1)Canada (2)Central America (1)China (3)East Asia (1)Europe (6)Fiji (1)India (1)Indonesia (1)Iran (1)Japan (6)Kazakhstan (1)Kenya (1)Laos (1)Malaysia (1)Mexico (1)Myanmar (2)Nepal (1)New Zealand (1)North America (3)Pakistan (1)Papua New Guinea (1)Philippines (1)South America (3)South Asia (1)South Korea (1)Southeast Asia (1)Sri Lanka (1)Taiwan (1)Thailand (1)The Mediterranean (1)United States (4)Vietnam (1)Quarantine StatusAllQuarantine Pest (ISPM 5) (21)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 34AntestiopsisInsectAnthonomus pomorumInsectAsian Citrus PsyllidInsectBoll WeevilInsectBrown Marmorated Stink BugInsectBrown PlanthopperInsectCassava Green MiteInsectCodling MothInsectCoffee Berry BorerInsectColorado Potato BeetleInsectCorn EarwormInsectCotton BollwormInsectDesert LocustInsectDiamondback MothInsectDysmicoccus brevipesInsectEuropean Corn BorerInsectFall ArmywormInsectGreen Peach AphidInsectJapanese BeetleInsectKhapra BeetleInsectMediterranean Fruit FlyInsectMigratory LocustInsectMyzus persicaeInsectOriental Fruit FlyInsectOtiorhynchus cribricollisInsectPink BollwormInsectRed Palm WeevilInsectSilverleaf WhiteflyInsectSpongy MothInsectSpotted LanternflyInsectSpotted Wing DrosophilaInsectTomato LeafminerInsectTwospotted Spider MiteInsectWestern Corn RootwormInsectConnectionsAgent Kind OfAntestiopsis, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Anthonomus pomorum, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Asian Citrus Psyllid, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Boll Weevil, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Brown Planthopper, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Cassava Green Mite, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Codling Moth, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Coffee Berry Borer, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Colorado Potato Beetle, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Corn Earworm, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Cotton Bollworm, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Desert Locust, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Diamondback Moth, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Dysmicoccus brevipes, Pests and Diseases Well-attested European Corn Borer, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Fall Armyworm, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Green Peach Aphid, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Japanese Beetle, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Khapra Beetle, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Migratory Locust, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Myzus persicae, Pests and Diseases Well-attested New World Screwworm, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Old World Screwworm, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Oriental Fruit Fly, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Otiorhynchus cribricollis, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Pink Bollworm, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Red Palm Weevil, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Sheep Scab, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Silverleaf Whitefly, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Small Hive Beetle, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Spongy Moth, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Spotted Lanternfly, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Spotted Wing Drosophila, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Tomato Leafminer, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Trypanosomiasis, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Twospotted Spider Mite, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Varroa Mite, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Western Corn Rootworm, Pests and Diseases Well-attested Classified AsPest and Pathogen Agent Concepts, Subcategories Well-attested In DisciplineAgricultural Entomology, Disciplines Well-attested Source InsectSourcesInsectWikipedia, lead sectionInsects (from Latin insectum) are invertebrates of the class Insecta.In Discipline: Agricultural Entomology, Lead paragraphInsects (from Latin insectum) are invertebrates of the class Insecta.View the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
