Since, the complete list of insects as far as this known from northern Chhattisgarh have not yet given in the present publication, only the list of orders and their respective species were provided. Overall, 362 species of 19 orders of insect are reported from the study area. It is noteworthy that a widespread report of insect diversity of Surguja has been provided first time, which is mainly based on the collection and surveys. The insect diversity of the study area is estimated about 11% of all the known species from India.
