crops and reducing the need for insect pesticides. 131 Bearing

in mind that pesticides are damaging the balances in nature,
kill useful species, and have a negative impact on human
health, the importance of these helpful organisms to control
harmful insect pests becomes even clearer.
For example, the European corn weevil Pyrausta nubi-
lalis and the Japanese insect Popillia japonica are being
eradicated through the use of natural predators and para-

sites. Wild bees that feed on the larvae of insect pests that
attack fruit are released into Californian fruit farms after they
have been raised for that purpose. 132 In conclusion, different
species have different tasks in the maintenance of the bal-
ances in nature.
Whenever "insects" are mentioned, most people think of
those that damage crops or human health. Yet this is a grave
misconception, since it is known that most insects are ben-
eficial. 133 Insects play a major role in the food chain on land,

in the fertilization of flowering plants, in the cleaning of the
Earth, and many ecological balances. To put it more accu-
rately, human life is directly or indirectly dependent upon
insects.
