Insects, the hidden world

Thanks to its geographic position and geological history, Ethiopia presents a unique entomological biodiversity.

It is home to endemic species, found nowhere else in the world, as well as migratory species that make Ethiopia an important stage in their journey.

Insects play an essential role in ecosystems. They are pollinators, decomposers, predators, and prey.

They thus participate in the cycle of matter and in the regulation of populations of other organisms.
