Abstract | ||||
Abstract Arthropoda is the largest and most diverse group of organisms on Earth. Their association with warfare provides a different perspective that bridges entomology and military studies. This review explores the different aspects of arthropods’ applications in warfare by emphasizing their roles in biological and psychological warfare, emerging applications in surveillance, logistics, and medical support, and their contributions to forensic science. As technology advances, the potential military applications of arthropods continue to develop, presenting new challenges and possibilities. By considering ethical standards, legal considerations, and promoting a fusion of mixed expertise collaboration, we can benefit from the efficacy of arthropods while protecting global security and ecological stability. | ||||
