Aren't they just a nuisance?

Some insects are pest species to humans, it's true.
However, here are some that are useful to humans:
-honey bees create honey (food source), wax (used for candles and food), pollen (high in vitamins and protein), and propolys (also high in nutrients)
-scale insects can be used to create dyes, including brilliant reds
-silk worms weave cocoons that are harvested to make clothing
-many insects (such as blowfly larvae) which eat dead and decaying organic matter, can be used in medicine to clean infected amputated limbs. In addition, they keep the world from being overrun by dead bodies, by working with bacteria to break down the organic matter.
-forensic scientists can also use the lifestage and species of certain insects to determine when and how a body died, and have sometimes even used them as evidence to convict murderers
-many insects and other creepy crawlies are natural predators of other insects we consider pests--wasps, spiders, ants, dragonflies, ladybugs.
-many insects serve as prey (sometimes the sole food source) for animals we love and admire.
-some insects are very beautiful and have served as inspiration for art--butterflies, moths, metallic beetles.
-insect life cycles make excellent teaching material in schools.
-insect collecting is a fun and educational past time.
-the larvae of certain species (such as Dobsinflies) can be used as a very accurate predictor of ecology health--they are very sensitive to ecological changes.
Even harmful insects can provide benefits:
-agricultural pests have been the impetus for much scientific research into chemistry, biology, ecology, and genetics.
-bites and stings make us appreciate the times that we are not bitten and stung! :) They also give us a warning to be more careful in the future.
So...don't you think God knew what He was doing? ;)

Not nearly as much of a nuisance as the god myth.

No not at all, insects are an instrumental part of the cycle of life for all liveing things. Without insects most birds and bats would die. Then whatever ate the birds/bats would die, etc, etc. Get it? Cycle of life. Having said that I do fog my yard a few times a year.

i think of the e book of genesis says that each and each tree grows its very own fruit. (continually). yet, yet another look at that's that God nevertheless has insext to do the paintings of fertilization besides. yet in a various thank you to look at it, may be to ask no rely if there became HONEY interior the backyard of eden. i think of its accessible to have bugs in heaven for applications like this. one might think of being an insect is often a glory and a punishment if reincarnation is genuine. in spite of this one might conlcude that not something is real, its all an phantasm. or worker-bots in an enormouse holographic software, like a matrix, or a divine matrix.

Think of the food chain without insects. What would polinate plants without insects? What would devour al the rot in the world? Without insects, we probably would'nt exist ourselves. Love a bug!

God did all kinds of things we can't understand.
A being capable of creating the whole universe is vastly complex and unfathomable.
Compared to God we're like human beings compared to germs.
A Rabbi once said a person who has no faith has more answers than questions, but a person with faith will always have more questions than answers.

To everything that God created, there is a purpose.
