Insects are one of the biggest animal populations with a very successful evolutive history, once they can be found chiefly in all possible environments all over the world, and the num‐ ber of species and individuals. Their success can be attributed to several important evolu‐ tionary aspects like wings, malleable exoskeleton, high reproductive potential, habits diversification, desiccation-resistant eggs and metamorphosis, just to name a few. Some spe‐ cies are especially valuable for humans due to their ability in providing several important goods, such as honey, dyes, lac and silk. On the other hand, many insects are vectors of many diseases, and many others damages crop plantations or wood structures, causing seri‐ ous health and economic issues.
