[[Entomology]], the scientific study of [[insect]]s and closely-related terrestrial [[arthropod]]s, has been impelled by the necessity of societies to protect themselves from insect-borne diseases, crop losses to insects, and insect-related discomfort, as well as by people's natural curiosity. This article traces the history of entomology.
==Timelines of entomology==

===History of classification===
Many different classifications were proposed by early entomologists. It is important to realise that whilst many early names survive they are at different levels in the phylogenetic hierarchy . For instance many families were first published as genera. An example is the genus ''Mymar'' proposed by [[Alexander Henry Haliday]] in 1829 is now the family [[Mymaridae]].
