Implementing insect control measures can require significant resources from state and local governments, which in turn can affect taxes and social programs for residents. If governments begin to spend more money on insect pest control, it may reduce available resources for social programs and other public services.

The large size of insects can give them certain advantages: they may be less vulnerable to predators and more attractive to mates. These features can also affect ecosystems and, consequently, the livelihoods of populations.
Some of Australia’s largest insects include cicadas, reaching up to 15 centimeters, and herculean beetles with wingspans of up to 20 centimeters. Even some spiders, such as tarantulas, surprise with their size.
The size of Australian insects is attributed to unique natural conditions, food resources and evolutionary adaptations. However, they can also impact the lives of residents through agricultural and taxation implications. Australia continues to amaze the world with its unique biodiversity and majestic creatures, which in turn affect the lives and well-being of its people.
