Entomology (NC): Scientists conduct research on the identification and classification of beetles, moths, flies, true bugs, aphids, termites, thrips, scale insects, and mites that impact U.S. agriculture and security. These are crop pests, invasive species, species for biological control of noxious insects and weeds, and species of quarantine significance. Scientists use digital imaging, DNA sequencing, and electron microscopy among other techniques to produce results that impact upon federal, state, public, and private agencies. |
