As man began growing crops, and gardens and ornamentals at home, he found that certain insects compete with him for food on these plants, and therefore these competitors have been deemed as "pests." However, there are many insects that prey on, parasitize, or chase away these pest insects, these are the ones we call “beneficial insects”.
