The females are drawn to humans and mammals by the smell of their sweat. They feed on their blood, sucking up to 0.2 ml from them. The males feed on nectar. In some species the females live off plants and carrion.

The bite of a horse fly can penetrate clothing and is much more painful than the sting of a mosquito due to the larger mouth parts. Horse flies are considered a risk to humans and animals, especially in Africa, as they carry diseases.

| | Amongst humans, particularly in western industrialized countries, spiders have a bad reputation. This irrational aversion may in some cases lead to mental illness (arachnophobia). Some species of spiders are in fact dangerous to humans, for example, the black widow. In Cambodia, spiders are brutally killed and eaten. However in many Asian cultures, the spider is considered useful because it kills insects. In West Africa, the spider is considered a deity. | | |

For humans primarily the honey bee is of interest. There are 9 different species : Apis dorsata laboriosa, Dwarf honey bee, Giant honey bee, Western honey bee Asian, Red honey bee, Apis nigrocincta, Dwarf bush bee, Eastern honey bee and the Asian mountain bee... | | |

Beetles are often divided by humans into two groups: those that are harmful and those that are beneficial. Sitophilus oryzae and wheat weevil can cause significant damage to cereal stocks, while the Colorado potato beetle, Meligethes aeneus and Western corn rootworm are able to dest... | | |

For humans the German wasp and the common wasp are especially problematic because these live in the most populated colonies. Wasp stings can cause? allergic reactions, often in conjunction with severe itching or pain. The greater danger is from bacteria, such... | | |

Some species of rove beetle can cause damage to strawberries or fruit trees. However, the rove beetle is enormously valuable for the soil and its remineralisation. Furthermore they eat many insects which are regarded as pests in agriculture a... | | |
