Biodiversity is often used as a measure of the health of biological system. The biodiversity found on Earth today consists of many millions of distinct biological species. Insects create the biological function for all terrestrial ecosystems. They cycle nutrients, pollination and seed formation, maintain the soil structure and fertility, control populations of other organisms, and provide a major food source for other taxa. Virtually food web in a terrestrial ecosystem will show insects as a key component although food web architecture in the ecosystems. Bees, moths, ants and other insects, for example, perform a critical role in the life of seed plants by transferring pollen. Insect pollination is particularly important for production of certain fruits, nuts and vegetables. In the present study was depicts the Insects diversity of Kallar horticulture farm, Mettupalayam. An insect collection method was done by method, pitfall trap, Sweep net, Malaise traps, and Sticky trap. The main focusing of this study is the agricultural development depending upon the insect biodiversity, as well as provides opportunities for enhancing the resilience of soil ecosystem services by conserving soil biodiversity. These findings considers the aspects of sustainability of agriculture production involving insects populations, the effects of crop intensification on these populations, the agricultural practices that utilize insects, and the current status of improving the sustainability of agriculture producing environments.
