Insects provide critical ecosystem services (e.g., pollination), comprise a major proportion of faunal biodiversity and biomass in most ecosystems, and generally serve as foundational species by representing the chief food resource for many wildlife species, including bats and reptiles. Many insect species depend on specific plant species and attributes of vegetation structure, and as a result insect diversity and abundance can be very sensitive to local and regional habitat alterations. We will focus on monitoring the diversity and abundance of the major insect groups (Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Orthoptera, and Hemipterae) through day time sweepnetting and night time light traps.
