Abstract:

The Order Orthoptera belongs to the class of insects and they live in terrestrial habitats. They have a significant impact on ecology. In this paper, taxonomic data are presented for the species of the Order Orthoptera in the different habitats of the Vlora area. The collection of biological material was carried out at three stations: Llogara National Park, Kurora e Malit, and Zvernec during the period 2024. From our taxonomic analysis, we identified 18 species in the Order Orthoptera belonging to the two families Acrididae and Tettigoniidae collected at these three stations: Zvernec, Llogara National Park and Kurora e Malit (Sevaster). The family Tettigoniidae represents the highest number of species with 10 species and a species frequency of 55.55%, while the family Acrididae represents the lowest number of species, with 8 species and a species frequency of 44.44%. In terms of stations, the Llogara National Park station represents the highest number of species, with 10 species with a species frequency of 55.55%, followed by the Kurora e Malit station with 9 species and a species frequency of 50%, while the Zvernec station represents the lowest number with 6 species and a species frequency of 33.33%. The habitats of the Llogara National Park station have a diversity of species of the Order Orthoptera.
