Bipartite network projection, a form of complex network bearing non-trivial topological features, is used to present on overview of the arthropod community in different forest ecosystems in MODECERA monitoring stations. Analysis of the network projection showed that across the forest sites, Staphylinidae (rove beetles), Entomobryidae (slender springtails) Formicidae (ants), Phoride (scuttle files), Isotomidae (isotomid springtails), and Aranese (spiders) are the most abundant groups. In terms of forest sites, Mt Makiling Forest Reserve (Laguna), Allah Valley Watershed (South Cotabato), and Jalaur Watershed (Iloilo) have the highest number recorded taxa. In terms of insect families across orders occurring on sites, Coleopptera has the highest recorded count followed by Hemiptera and Diptera. Network projection also showed that in terms of feeding guild assemblage, detritivorus taxa are the most dominant group followed by foliivorous, mucivorous, and omnivorous groups. New distribution records for the genera Cosmolestes(Reduvidae), Brachytarsina (Streblidae), Paranistra (Gryllidae), and Pyrops (Fulgoridae) are presented.
