Abstract :

The study was conducted on the diversity of insect species at Maharani’s Science College Campus, Mysuru, Karnataka during Feuary to April, 2017. A total of 41 different species belonging to 22 families and 9 orders were recorded. This study shows that highest number of insect species belongs to order Hymenoptera (24.3%), followed by Coleoptera (21.9%), Orthoptera (9.8%), Lepidoptera (14.6%), Hemiptera (9.8%), Blattodea (7.3%), Mantodea (7.3%), Isoptera (2.5%) and Odonata (2.5%). The insect diversity was quite good (Shannon’s Weaver index = 2.97). Although, study of this kind is a pioneer attempt, season wise study in future would throw more light on insect biodiversity greater in detail.
