Abstract

Insects play a key role in ecosystems. Their diverse presence is important for the sustainable development of civilization. Examples of the use of beetles (Coleoptera) and butterflies (Lepidoptera) in treatment are presented. Particular attention has been given to certain biologically active substances that have antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer effects.
