This study provides interesting insights into the diversity of insects that are trapped in Nepenthes plants in Gunung Kunyit Forest, Jambi Province, Indonesia. The research focused on taxonomic studies of insects found in Nepenthes and aimed to determine the diversity of insects trapped in Nepenthes and the species of Nepenthes. The findings reveal that there were three species of Nepenthes found in the research site and ten different species of insects trapped in Nepenthes. The insect diversity index was found to be medium level, with the highest number of insects being Crematogaster sp. This study contributes to the knowledge of insect diversity in Nepenthes and highlights the importance of taxonomic studies in understanding the biodiversity of insect communities in natural ecosystems.
