Despite great conservation efforts during recent decades global biodiversity continues to decrease (Butchart et al., 2010).

this is because for terrestrial biomes, land-use change is recogn ised as the main threat to biological diversity (Sala et al., 2000).Urbanisation leads to a direct loss of natural and seminatural habitats. Moreover, urbanisat ion alters adjacent undeveloped areas dramatically (McKinney, 2002, 2006) since the numbers of animal species tend to be correlated with plant species richness, species poverty in city centres is a result of sparse vegetation coverage and a low number of plant species in the remaining patches of vegetation (McKinney, 2 002) similarly, insect diversity may reflect primarily the diversity of plants, which affects diversity of host resources and habitat structure (Curry 1994, Mag urran 2004, Stiling 1996).

Insects represent the vast majority of species in terrestrial and aquatic ecosys tems. For example, in most ecosystems where diversity of insect or arthropod spe cies has been inventoried, along with plants and vertebrates, arthropods account for 70 90% of the total number of recorded species (Schowalter, 2006), a lot of r esearches have worked hand-in-hand on how diversity emerges under different ecol ogical conditions, how anthropogenic changes are affecting divversity, and how d iversity affects the stability of natural communities. Diversity can be represented in various ways (Magurran 2004). The simplest repre sentation is a catalog of species, or the total number of species (richness),a m easure that indicates the variety of species in a community (a diversity). Rarel y can all species be detected and documented. Usually the number of species reco rded increases with the number of samples collected. The total number of species can be estimated by extrapolating from a species abundance curve that plots cum ulative species against cumulative sample number or area. Species of particular interest will need to be surveyed in more detail than can be obtained from a community diversity index. It may be sufficient merely to est ablish whether or not a species is present at a site or subdivision of a site, a nd thus map the distribution of the species. ===================================================
