Animals play a crucial role in agricultural pest control and ecosystem services in several ways. Some animals, such as ladybugs, lacewings, and parasitic wasps, feed on pests that damage crops, acting as natural predators and helping to keep pest populations in check. Birds also contribute to pest control by eating insects that harm crops. In addition to pest control, animals like bees and butterflies play a vital role in pollinating crops, thus ensuring successful plant reproduction. Overall, animals are essential components of agricultural ecosystems, contributing to the balance and health of the environment.
