Hi. This article has some good information, but try http://encyclopedia.com/html/e/entomolo.asp for some more information! Remember to still keep wikipedia running strong though! The site needs you! |

Why is there a picture of a mammal, specifically a tiger, on the right side of this page? Is this some new classification of insect? [[User:208.230.118.253|208.230.118.253]] 18:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC) |

:It's an insect that looks like a leaf. Look closely. --[[Special:Contributions/62.136.150.154|62.136.150.154]] ([[User talk:62.136.150.154|talk]]) 21:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC) |

== Entomology as evidence of abuse or neglect merging with entomology == |
|||
I do not think that the two should be merged "Entomology as ...." is a very decent stand alone article and both have enough information to be presented as full articles on their own. I think that people looking for information on insects or entomology in general may not want to peruse through an article that encompasses the sort of subject matter found in forensic entomology. "Entomology as ...." should definitely be linked, but not merged to the main entomology article. The two topics are different enough to be separate. Thank you for reading the article.--[[User:Angelar.steinhauer|Angelar.steinhauer]] ([[User talk:Angelar.steinhauer|talk]]) 21:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC) |

==Commercial Sites?== |
|||
Under Organizations, the link "Entomology.org" is actually a commercial site that sends people to pest control companies for services. I do not think this should be allowed on this page. If it is, I have a site that offers scores of insect-related software for sale. [[User:Trfasulo|Trfasulo]] ([[User talk:Trfasulo|talk]]) 01:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC) |

:Just feel free to remove links. The problem is external links are seen as a free for all and if the link adder is not adding content into articles in general, it is most likely just spam. [[User:Shyamal|Shyamal]] ([[User talk:Shyamal|talk]]) 09:25, 12 August 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== Factual error == |
|||
The site says that insects account for 2/3 of all organisms. This is impossible. I'm not sure what the exact reference is made to but their are far more unicellular organisms than insects. Perhaps they meant 2/3 of all multi-cellular organisms, but in any case this should be corrected. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/128.253.69.116|128.253.69.116]] ([[User talk:128.253.69.116|talk]]) 22:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:Here is the first part of the sentence: "At some 1.3 million described species, insects account for more than 2/3rds of all known organisms..." In that context, it is clear that the 2/3 represents a fraction of the number of species, not the number of organisms.--[[User:Geometricks|Geometricks]] ([[User talk:Geometricks|talk]]) 15:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC) |

== TV entomologists as history? == |
|||
What's with that? It is quite a stretch to place those fictional characters in the history section. Perhaps there could be a popular entertainment section, but I would be more inclined to delete them altogether.--[[User:Geometricks|Geometricks]] ([[User talk:Geometricks|talk]]) 15:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC) |

:I agree with your point regarding a separate section so I've implemented it. [[User:Untrue Believer|Untrue Believer]] ([[User talk:Untrue Believer|talk]]) 00:16, 19 October 2008 (UTC) |

:Don't forget to read the book! If we are going to mention TV shows with "entomology," it is only fair to list books too. So I listed some. However, I would like to make the suggestion that this section might be better off further down the page as it is not the "science" of entomology, even if it is related. And if you haven't read '''The Forgotten Planet''' or '''Atta''', you have missed some very enjoyable reading. [[User:Trfasulo|Thomas R.
