An excellent person for this is Jeff Bentley, who studies agrarian
ecology in Central America; he's working on "ethnoentomology" now
(also the linguistics associated with agriculturally important species
like wasps).  Another knowledgeable person is Tom Conelly, who was the
social scientist at an insect research center in western Kenya.
