This list is not a complete checklist of Georgia’s insects and grows step by step.

FAQ
What people ask about insects here
Short answers to the most common questions.
No. Only some insects have profiles so far, and a species missing from the list may still occur in 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.
Taxonomy, identification, habitat, Georgia-specific evidence, safety or ecological notes where relevant, and sources.
Only when specific regional or local records are known for the species. That an insect occurs in Georgia does not mean it lives in every region.
Usually no. Observe from a distance and avoid collecting or moving wildlife unless a reliable practical reason exists.
