Significance of
Invertebrates
Ecological
Good bioindicators of impacts of
environmental change.
Offer an ideal opportunity to track the
impact of anthropogenic noise on
wildlife in natural habitats.
spiders are predators of small pest insects
Play important role in food chain for other vertebrates
Invertebrates in the journal
Crickets
Paroecanthus podagrosus
Gryllus bimaculatus
Gryllus campestris
Oecanthus henryi
Grasshopper
Chorthippus biguttulus
Cicada
Cryptotympana takasagona
Fruit flies
Drosophila melanogaster
Mosquitoes

Butterfly
Bycyclus anynana
Katydids
Sciarasaga quadrata
Hemisaga dendiculata
Mygalopsis marki
Mecopoda elongata
Conocephalus brevipennis
Platycleis albopunctata
Medical
Mosquitoes are the vectors of many pathogens on human health
Zika virus
West Nile virus
Chikungunya virus
Dengue
Malaria
Spiders venom could be used to make antivenom
Antivenin
Latrodectus mactans
for black widow spider bite
Drosophila melanogaster
one of the most commonly used model organism in biomedical science.
Economical
Usage of spiders as biological control agent is cost-benefits
Butterfly and any other insects are pollinators of many agricultural crops
The diversity of butterfly species is good for ecotourism activity
