Entomologi

Sebahagian koleksi kumbang

Entomologi adalah cabang sains yang mengkaji mengenai serangga. Berasal dari dua perkataan Latin - entomon bermakna serangga dan logos bermakna ilmu pengetahuan. Serangga merupakan kelompok haiwan yang terbesar bilangan spesiesnya berbanding lain-lain haiwan ataupun tumbuhan. Sehingga kini terdapat sekitar 1 juta spesies serangga yang telah direkodkan. Bilangan spesies yang sebenarnya tidak diketahui kerana masih banyak yang belum direkodkan kewujudannya. Kepentingan pengetahuan entomologi dapat dilihat daripada peranan serangga secara langsung maupun tidak langsung dalam kehidupan manusia di bumi ini.

Walau bagaimanapun, kadang-kadang bidang ini diperluaskan untuk turut mencakupi artropod.

“I suppose you are an entomologist?” “Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name. No man can be truly called an entomologist, sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
