Abstract
The review presents contemporary data on the influence of the geomagnetic field and its variations on insect behavior. The most probable mechanisms of magnetoreception in different species are discussed. The prospects for studying insect electroreceptors as magnetodetectors are considered. Special attention is paid to studies investigating the impact of geomagnetic storms on insects. Differences in primary magnetoreception mechanisms
are considered a potential cause for divergences in the reactions of different insect species to geomagnetic
disturbances.
