Abstract: Entomofauna, or insect biodiversity, plays a crucial role in ecosystem stability, functioning, and conservation efforts. This study investigates the biodiversity, distribution, and population dynamics of insect species in the semiarid and scrub jungle ecosystems of Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu. Field surveys and statistical analyses were conducted to assess species diversity, seasonal variations, and habitat preferences. Results indicate significant variations in insect distribution patterns based on climatic conditions and vegetation types. The findings contribute to a better understanding of ecological balance and provide insights for conservation and sustainable management strategies.
