I'm not sure if I got this right...

In XX there are 40 vegetable insect pests, 25 fruit insect pests, 15 field crop insect pests and 15 animal insect pests. Insect pests harm us by consuming our food and fibre.
Thanks for your help!

sugestão
No sentido de que 10.000 deles são nocivos e 600 atingem/superam uma população/grau de disseminação/potencial de danos que merece a denominação de praga/infestação. Com base no termo 'praga de gafanhotos'.
