Abstract: Contrary to the common case When specialists in the field of plant protection talk about insect damage, we will show the important role played by other organisms, Insects have an essential role in pollination, pest control, nutrient cycling, decomposition, and maintenance of ecological balance and health. They are adaptable and have a wide range of genetic diversity, which is driving the growing role of insects in the advancement of some scientific disciplines and in particular their ideal role for studying In the experimental field, drug toxicity, treatments, and interventions for some serious diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's disease. They share physiological similarities with humans, being like 60% of the DNA code of fruit flies. Both have functions such as the central nervous system, heart, digestive system, reproductive organs, and behavior regulation mechanisms. And evidence of awareness of human-like insects through interaction with their biotic and abiotic surroundings, and understanding their physiological functions, can provide insight into their behavior in different situations.
