Animals are called pests when they cause damage to agriculture by feeding on crops or parasitising livestock, such as codling moth on apples, or boll weevil on cotton. An animal could also be a pest when it causes damage to a wild ecosystem or carries germs within human habitats.

Answer:
- A pest is any animal or plant which has a harmful effect on humans, their food or their living conditions.
- Insects are responsible for two major kinds of damage to growing crops.
- First is direct injury done to the plant by the feeding insect, which eats leaves or burrows in stems, fruit, or roots.
- Although most insects grow and multiply in the crop they damage, certain grasshoppers are well-known exceptions.
