The aim of this study was to assess insect diversity and abundance at the Campus of Higher Polytechnic Institute of Manica, Mozambique. Collection of insects was carried out by pitfall traps a long linear transects and sweep nets during 21 days of October 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical and Shannon diversity index. A total of 1780 individuals of insects belonging to 8 orders, 15 families and 27 species were collected. Highest relative abundance was observed in Hymenoptera order (92.64%), and the least were Blattodea (2.70%), Diptera (2.13%), Coleoptera (0.82%), Orthoptera (1.52%), Phasmatodea (0.06%), Mantodea (0.28%) and Hemiptera (0.11%). The abundant specie was Crematogaster peringueyi (Hymenoptera) with 89.83% follwed by Macrotermes natalensis (Blattodea) and Chrysonmya chloropyga (Diptera) with 2.47% and 1.63% respectively. Higher insect diversity was observed in Orthoptera order (Shannon, H'=1.76), while the orders Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Blattodea, Phasmatodea, Hemiptera, had the lowest diversity (Shannon, H'<1). Further work need to be done in the study area, expanding the duration of the study and applying diversity sampling techniques.

“…Rarity of Hemiptera in this study contrasts Yager et al (2018) Lepidoptera was the second most abundant insect Order collected, with highest occurrence in Ijanikin site. Shrubs and grass habitats have a high proportion of butterfly species with a wide geographical distribution range (Vu 2009).…”

Mangrove forest ecosystem preserves diversity of species, which includes insects. Insects serve as bioindicators, pollinators and nutrient recyclers in the forest. However, the number of insects decline as the forest fades. We conducted this field survey to assess the diversity and abundance of insect species in three selected mangrove swamp forests located in Lagos State, Nigeria. Samples were collected fortnightly using different techniques, for a period of three months. Insects collected were preserved in 70% alcohol, but butterflies and moths were preserved dry. Representative samples were identified with picture insect mobile application V1.0.8 and confirmed using standard identification keys. Vegetation cover was quite similar in all the areas sampled comprising of Alchornea cordifolia, Eragrosis racemose, Paspalum dilatatum and Avicennia germania. A total of 182 insects were collected belonging to seven Orders, 18 Families and 38 species. The most dominant Order was Coleoptera with relative abundance of 66.48% and the least was Hemiptera (0.59%). The Order Odonata was the most diverse (HꞋ=1.09), and the most dominant species were Pantala flavescens and Sympetrum fonscolombii, having relative abundance of 8.24% each, followed by Palpopleura lucia (7.69%), Ceriagrion glabrum (7.14%) and Lestinogomphus africanus (6.04%). Psedagrion kersteni was rare with relative abundance < 0.5%. Iba site had the highest species diversity (HꞋ=1.24) but lowest number of individuals. This study documents the diversity and abundance of insects in the fast-disappearing mangrove forest of Lagos State, Nigeria.

“…On the other hand, insects are one of the significant factors affecting seedling quality and development in nurseries (Grossnickle & MacDonald, 2018;Haase et al, 2021). Insect pests interrupt the success of these afforestation activities by damaging parts of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, seeds, fruits and cones (Yager et al, 2018). Therefore; monitoring, evaluation, and determination of the insect species in nurseries are important to detection of problems early.…”

The study was conducted using light traps and pheromone traps between 2021 and 2022 in selected forest nurseries of the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye. The insect species were morphologically described. Identification of species was made by referring to the relevant literature. The antenna and aedeagus of some species were photographed using a stereo microscope. In total, 3 families, 7 subfamilies, 7 genera and 7 species were identified in this study. These species are Anobium punctatum, Attagenus persicus, Dermestes undulatus, Ptinus (Bruchoptinus) sp., Sinoxylon sexdentatum, Trogoderma inclusum, and Xestobium rufovillosum. At the end of the study, 2 insect species were identified as new records for the region.
