The diversity of pollinator insects in various habitats in Berjo, Segoro Gunung, and Gumeng Villages, Karanganyar District, Central Java, Indonesia. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 10: 12-19. The presence of insects in a place can indicate biodiversity, ecosystem health, and landscape degradation. Insects are found in various habitats, such as agricultural land, forests, mountains, and residential and urban areas. In addition, insects play a major role with 70% of the pollination process carried out by insect pollinators. Insect pollinators play a role in helping the plant reproduction process. The purpose of this study was to analyze the diversity of pollinator insect species in Berjo, Segoro Gunung, and Gumeng Villages, Karanganyar, Central Java. This research was conducted in June 2023 in Berjo Village, Segoro Gunung Village, and Gumeng Villages, Karanganyar District, Central Java, Indonesia. The sampling technique used was purposive random sampling, and the sampling point was determined at the selected location based on the survey results. Sampling was done by making three plots measuring 50×30 m with a distance of 100 m between plots for each research location. Data analysis used in this study used the calculation of the Shannon-Weiner diversity index. Based on the results of the study, 208 individuals of pollinator insects were obtained, with 10 families of pollinator insects found in the research location, namely Calliphoridae, Coccinellidae, Geometridae, Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Syrphidae, and Vespidae. The species most commonly found in the three research locations was Ypthima pandocus, with 79 individuals in the three research locations. The most common family found was Nymphalidae, with 87 individuals or about 41.8% of all pollinator insects in the research location. The diversity index in agroforestry and conservation forest habitats shows a value of 1.80 and 1.86 which states that the value of diversity is medium.
