This paper presents the list of insects found during the 15-day faunal assessment survey of the Bhimbandh Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS), Bihar. In total, 112 species of insects were documented. A preliminary checklist has been prepared that provides baseline information for biodiversity studies in the region. These species are distributed across 11 orders and 56 families. Of these, 41 species belonged to order Lepidoptera, 18 to order Coleoptera, 12 to order Hymenoptera, 11 to order Orthoptera, nine to order Hemiptera, eight to order Odonata, six to order Diptera, three to order Blattodea, two to order Mantodea, and one each to order Plecoptera and Dermaptera. This checklist is crucial for understanding the health of the ecosystem of Bhimbandh Wildlife Sanctuary.
