The study investigates insect species diversity within Phacelia tanacetifolia plants (sown in 2023 on an area of 7 hectares) and surrounding habitats (valley, meadow, and forest edge) in the Plaiul Fagului Reserve. A total of 63 insect species were identified, comprising 10 dragonfly species, 39 hopper species, and 14 ladybug species. As a result, one dragonfly species and 17 hopper species were recorded for the first time within the reserve, while two ladybug species (Scymnus apetzi and S. haemorrhoidalis) were identified for the first time in the Republic of Moldova. Across valley, meadow, and forest edge habitats, 55 insect species were observed, while the cultivated phacelia plot harbored 27 species, including 8 (6 hoppers and 2 ladybugs) exclusively associated with phacelia plants. 19 insect species were found common to both habitats. The cultivation of phacelia within the reserve demonstrates potential benefits for diverse insect populations.
