Insects in the animal atlas
Insects are arthropods that, as adults, have six legs, three main body parts, and often one or two pairs of wings. Insect profiles follow the same editorial rule as the other group pages: accepted taxonomy first, Georgia-specific evidence separated from general biology, and no invented regional maps.
This is a growing profile set, not a complete national insect checklist. A species appears here only when a sourced page is ready.
- Insects — 4
- Published insect profiles are gathered here with identification notes, habitat information, country-level status, and sources.
FAQ
What people ask about insects here
Short answers - detailed information is on profiles.
No. This hub publishes individual insect profiles when enough reliable sources are available. Absence from the hub does not mean a species is absent from Georgia.
The atlas currently has 4 insect profiles: the European mantis (Mantis religiosa), brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis), and common bed bug (Cimex lectularius). Separate guides cover meeting them at home: stink bugs, cockroaches, and bed bugs.
Insect pages use the same species-profile structure: taxonomy, identification, habitat, Georgia-specific evidence, safety or ecological notes where relevant, and sources.
Only when a profile has sourced regional or local records. A country-level occurrence source does not automatically colour every Georgian region.
Usually no. Observe from a distance and avoid collecting or moving wildlife unless a reliable practical reason exists.
