A survey was conducted to study the diversity of insect species during February 2024 to February 2025 in the campus of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat. Geographically, Jorhat is located at 116 Meters (381 ft) above MSL and 26.75°N latitude and 94.22°E longitude. The insect specimens were collected from the mulberry gardens located at different locations within the campus of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat. From the study a high diversity of insect fauna in the mulberry plantations was recorded. The result of the diversity study revealed that Coleopteran (17 species) dominated the other insect fauna followed by Hymenoptera (12 species), Lepidoptera (10 species), Diptera (6 species), Odonata (4 species) and Hemiptera (4 species). A total of 53 insect species were collected and the species were identified with the help of existing literature. The knowledge compiled here will serve as valuable information for future studies aiming to understand more deeply the processes of speciation and faunal formation of insects in Jorhat.
