Embioptera is a group of insects, commonly known as webspinners, that are found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. Synonyms for Embioptera include the terms "Embidiina," "Embiidyaria," and "Embioidea," each of which refers to the same group of insects. Webspinners are characterized by their ability to spin silk and use it to construct nests and protect themselves from predators. They are not typically considered pests and do not pose a threat to human health or welfare. While they may be less well-known than other insect groups, Embioptera is a fascinating and important element of the natural world that warrants further study and appreciation.
