Insects

In Florida, the warm and humid climate, combined with its diverse habitats, provides a haven for a wide variety of insect species. The state boasts an impressive array of butterflies, such as the colorful Monarch and the endangered Miami Blue. Florida's wetlands are home to countless dragonflies and damselflies, whose vibrant hues accentuate their grace in flight. The region also supports a myriad of beetles, ants, and bees, including the industrious honeybee, essential for pollinating its diverse flora. Unfortunately, the tropical environment also supports a plethora of mosquitoes, a persistent nuisance due to their bites and potential to transmit diseases. Despite some pest species, Florida's insect population plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance and supporting its rich biodiversity.
