Abstract

Insect biodiversity is a type of biodiversity that solely focus on insect percentage because they are the most species-diverse group on Earth and play an important role in ecosystems. More than a million different species of insects have been identified, making them the most diverse and numerous animal class. Insects, in their many forms, are crucial to a flourishing agricultural sector because they promote ecosystem health in many ways, including herbivory, decomposition, being prey, being predators, and serving as pollinators. The Insect class also includes the vast majority of the most problematic pests in agricultural settings. Finding out what kinds of insects live in a certain location requires conducting a survey of insect biodiversity. Insects can favorably influence ecosystems via prey-predator interaction, soil enrichment, and bio-indicative behaviors thus, maintaining biodiversity on agricultural land is crucial from both conservational and commercial viewpoints. Therefore, more morphological, phylogenetic, ecological, and biogeographical research is required to better categorize this group.
