Herbivorous insects are the most numerous, accounting for about 48% of the total number of insects. But the parts where they feed are different.

    Soil insects such as beetles, needleworms, mole crickets, etc., feed mainly on the roots or seedlings of crops. The adults of goldenrod insects, the larvae of armyworms, and the larvae of cabbage butterflies all feed on the leaves of plants. The locusts not only eat the leaves, but also bite off the entire stem.

    The larvae of the beetle popping worm eat away at the cambium layer of the tree, thus killing the entire plant. The larvae of the longhorn beetle feed on the wood department. Some insects do not feed on roots, stems and leaves obviously, but they inhabit various parts of the plant and suck the sap, causing the plant to wither and die.

    There is also a close relationship between the size, amount and color of the insect body between food, for example, the rice elephant and the bean elephant that steal the grain, the whole body has to burrow into the grain grain, and their body will never exceed the size of the grain grain;
