Answer to Question 1

Nature helps control insect populations in the following ways:

1 . By the presence of mammals, birds, and amphibians that eat insects
2 . By the presence of predatory insects that eat other insects
3 . Through weather, including harsh winters and unusually dry or wet seasons
4 . Through diseases to which insects are susceptible

Answer to Question 2

Parasites can cause blood loss in animals, which can cause fatigue, poor performance, and inefficient development. Parasites can also carry disease from one animal to another.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
