This study aimed to explore the micro arthropod faunal diversity in selected forest areas of Telangana state, India. During the 2-year study period from January 2019 to December 2020, a total of 31,440 insects belonging to 11 orders were encountered from all five plots of the study site. The seven most abundant insect orders were Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, and Isoptera, while the four least abundant orders were grouped under miscellaneous order for further studies. The relative abundance of the insects varied with the months and taxonomic identity, with Lepidoptera being the most abundant insect order in the sanctuary. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the diversity and distribution of insects in forest ecosystems and provide valuable information for the conservation and management of these ecosystems. These findings provide important insights into the diversity and distribution of micro arthropods in forest ecosystems and can be used to develop effective conservation and management strategies for these ecosystems
