What is Some Aspects of Insect Chemistry about?

## HE INSECT, until recently, has been relatively Tneglected by the natural product and medicinal . chemist. During the period since the end of World War I1 this fertile area of research for the chemist, biochemist, physiologist, and even the pharmacologist has received an ever-increasing amount of recognition. The chemistry of these hexapods is unique and exciting. This discussion will be divided into three parts, (a) effects of plant chemical factors on the insect; (b) effects of insect chemical factors on the insect environment, and (c) unique chemistry of the insect. It should be recognized that the above categories represent only a part of the total subject of insect chemistry and that it will be impossible, in the space alloted, to cover all of the factors reported in the recent literature. As a limited review, it will also be impossible to discuss in detail the chemistry cited. However, a generous sprinkling of interesting information will be given in an attempt to entice the medicinal biologist and medicinal chemist to seek further application of and knowledge in the field of insects and their environment.
