Yes, it is.
What is an insect?
Insects belong to the taxonomic class of arthropods that are characterized by a segmented body and three pairs of jointed legs. Insects range in size from tiny mosquitoes and fleas to large beetles or butterflies, and they work closely with plants as pollinators or major agricultural pests. Every year there are billions of crop-damaging insects blown upon our shores, carrying agriculturally threatening organisms such as tobacco mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus, apple iaxvirus (IAX) and pear iaxvirus into the country on their bodies or inside eggs which are then deposited on hosts susceptible to infection.
