Abstract

Despite the fact that Federal University Wukari's farm has a huge area covered in grasses and trees, nothing is known about the variety, number, and species of the arthropods that live there. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the species richness, variety, and the abundance of arthropods present at the Federal University Wukari School farm. From September to November 2021, a total of 1698 unique arthropods were gathered, 32 species, 29 families, and 18 orders. Each month had an average of 618 to 550 arthropods, representing 27 to 30 different species. The fauna was dominated by Order Hymenoptera, which had 1110 individuals from 6 species. With a rating of 5.106, September was the month with the most abundant and varied arthropods.
