Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Biological Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Insects are thedominant group of animals that have elongated body with distinct head, thoraxand abdomen that are bilaterally symmetric. Their presences in the ecosystemare mutually benefited by plants for they serve as the main pollinators andseed dispersal. Insects also add in the transmission of disease and parasitismin other animals. This study determined and compared the relative abundanceamong stations and compared the results of the day-and-night sample collectionsof the insect taxa attracted to fermented beer-based bait trap in SongculanLagoon, Songculan, Dauis, Bohol, Philippines. There were five (5) identified insect taxa namely; Blattodea,Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera.
