What are the different types of endangered insects?

Thousands of insects are endangered by extinction due to loss of habitats caused by humans, using pesticides or other factors most often caused by people. The entire families of butterflies, dragons and other insects that were once common are considered by governments around the world. Some types of beetles and moths are not exempt from potential extinction. The species in any of these groups may die over decades or centuries, which is a short time compared to millions of years that some of them traveled on the ground.

One group of insects containing endangered insects is called DamSelflies and can often be acknowledged as looking similar to dragonflies, except for minor differences in their posture. The primary reason why some DamSelflies are endangered is due to the loss of the habitat. For example, the types of Chlorocypha Molindica and Chlorocypha Schmidti are threatened due to the loss of rivers and forests in the Africa certifies. This problem, howeverCH rivers in the Philippines also threatens rhinocypha hageni .

Family, which contains many endangered insects, is Gomphidae, also known as Clubtail Dragonflies. These species are most often threatened by the loss of habitats and this problem is not located in a particular area of ​​the world. For example, Epigomphus Camelus is threatened by the loss of healthy rivers and forests in Costa Rica, while epigomphus clavatus suffers from a similar problem in Guatemala. More than 25 species in the Gomphidae family are to some extent endangered and places that are threatened between the United States to Ethiopia.

The

family of butterflies called Lycaenidae includes more than 10 butterflies, which are considered to be endangered insects. These species differ very much in the position, including places such as Spain and Australia. Typical reasons why those are at risk include disruption of the ecosystem due to endangering other species and loss of habitat. For example parallel spinifera , commonly known as Bathurst Copper, is endangered for reasons such as invasive weeds and human soil development.

Some experts believe that a significant number of insects have already left or disappears before the discovery of people. As for the species that have already been discovered, there are more types of insects than other types of creatures such as mammals. The ability to monitor so many insect types is limited by their number.
