Insect taxonomy is the scientific classification of insects, which are a diverse group of arthropods. This system organizes insects into hierarchical categories, including kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Each level helps scientists identify and study the vast variety of insect life on Earth. Taxonomists use various characteristics, such as physical traits and genetic information, to classify insects accurately. This classification aids in understanding their roles in ecosystems, their evolutionary relationships, and their importance in agriculture and medicine. Proper taxonomy is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecological research.
