Butterflies were seen commonly in all landscape elements, but
especially at the lowest level where vegetation is plentiful
Many species were seen taking in minerals on moist clay soil
Vegetation diversity suggest reproduction by many species

Grasshoppers were very common on the dry upper benches and also the
wetlands on the lowest levels
Many different species are involved, suggesting that Hambalang offers significant
habitats for this group
