insect fauna
Local bug community
Insect fauna refers to the insect species inhabiting a particular region, habitat, or time period.
Ecologists and entomologists use the term when describing insect communities collectively: the insect fauna of tropical rainforests, studying the local insect fauna.
The phrase treats insects as one component of a larger ecological picture, alongside flora and other fauna.
