Question

Are pests and insects the same ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In the United States, perhaps the most common insects kept as pets are ants in commercial ant farms. Otherwise in the U.S., there has never been a great desire to keep insects as pets. However, in other parts of the world, especially Japan, insects are often kept as household pets, as commonly as dogs and cats in the United States. Sometimes, there is true value in having insects as pets. Night-singing crickets as household pets have been used in the Orient to indicate the presence of intruders, because the crickets suddenly stop singing when disturbed by other noise. Singing crickets and katydids have been kept as pets widely through the Far East and the Mediterranean Region for thousands of years. The Japanese strongly accept insects as pets, and sell living crickets and bamboo cages in markets. The advantages of having insects as pets are that they are not difficult to find, don't require great care except for feeding, and they can be kept in relatively little space.
