Insect Habitat

An insect habitat is the environment where insects live, find food, and reproduce. It can vary widely, including soil, leaf litter, tree bark, plants, water, and human-made structures. Habitats provide insects with essentials like moisture, shelter, and resources specific to their needs. Different species adapt to specific environments, such as bees in flowers and ants underground. Healthy habitats support diverse insect populations, which are vital for pollination, decomposition, and food chains. Protecting these habitats helps maintain ecological balance and biodiversity.
