Fear of insects
- Entomophobia
Claim
Modern society tends to be entomophobic, afraid of insects, and constantly at war with them. Yet 99.9% of insects are beneficial or neutral with respect to humans and only 0.1% are pests. If pesticides are used to kill the latter, than society risks the loss of the majority of species, thereby destroying many that are in effect allies.
