Registro entomológico do Parque dos Bilhares, Manaus - AM, por meio de portfólio para educação ambiental

Abstract

Insects are extremely successful animals and affect many aspects of our lives, although they are small in size. When attention turns to animals, for example insects, which are invertebrate animals, it is found that these organisms are seen by most people only as causing disease and without any use in nature. However, they are very important, especially for their relations with the human being. These relationships can be beneficial or harmful. Based on this theme, the study was developed in the Bilhares Park, located in Manaus, Brazil, whose objective was to carry out an entomological record of the Bilhares Park through photographs. From these photographic records, a portfolio was prepared as material for Environmental Education, which will be made available for the collection of the Park. During the twelve months of observations, 55 insect species of eight orders and 14 families were recorded and identified. During the collection and development of the work in the Bilhares Park important aspects related to insects such as the presence of toxic plants, plants with insecticidal potential, predators and plants with the highest number of visits by insects were observed and recorded.
