Abstract :
A study on pseudo-mapping of insects’ distribution and abundance in Kuala Keniam, a part of National Park was carried out in December 2009 until March 2010. For the duration of study, a total of 1,640 of individual insects were identified, which then classified into orders. There was a wide range of insects species found in the study area, belonging to at least nine orders including spiders (order: Araneae). The data were analysed and presented as pseudo-mapping by using Global Positioning System (GPS) device. The richness and diverse groups of insects in the study area are more obvious and distinct on their distribution and dispersion by using pseudo-mapping means. In future, this information and the presentation of insect’s distribution in a pseudo-mapping will be easily implemented to predict the population, dispersion and location of insect according to season. It could also encourage the ecotourism industry for providing and disseminating friendly-user information on the mesmerizing of the insects.
