The seminal work that defined and provided a structure for the concept of cultural. competence was a monograph published in 1989 by the Georgetown University Child.

Insects also probably have the largest biomass of the terrestrial animals. At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (thatâs 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 for those who like actual numbers) individual insects alive. In the United States, the number of described species is approximately 91,000.
That means there are about 2 billion insects for every human being, and assuming that there are 5 million species of insects, that means that each species has about 50 trillion individuals [source: Hogg]. So the next time you feel outnumbered, just remember: Unless you're an insect, so is everyone else.
