Enviromental Indicator Resource

Insects as environmental indicator resources

  • Insects live in their own habitat and cannot live in an unfavorable environment, which means that an environment can be evaluated by observing if insects can live in it or not.
    In developed countries, selecting and using insects as environmental indicator resources is already being actively accomplished.
