Declining biodiversity is receiving much attention around the world and green spaces in urban areas can help enhance biodiversity by creating habitat for living organisms especially from the class Insecta. Insects maintain biodiversity on earth and play a key role in the regulation as well as dynamics of many ecosystem services. Insect conservation especially in urban areas can be done by protecting the beneficial habitat from human activity and creating an environment with modifications to facilitate the target insect’s conservation such as creating green roof spaces. In this study, the richness of insect species was assessed from two different vegetation arrangements, vertical and horizontal, from different sampling sites and noting their light intensity, solar radiation and relative humidity. There was no significant correlation between insect species richness and all the three abiotic factors (p > 0.05). However, different plant types; flowering and non-flowering, were found to affect the richness of insect species, with relatively more insect species present at study sites with flowering plants compared to study sites with non-flowering plants (p < 0.05). This information can help to develop a sustainable and comprehensive environment in urban areas.

生物多样性的下降正在世界范围内引起广泛关注，城市地区的绿色空间可以通过为生物体（尤其是昆虫纲）的生物创造栖息地来帮助增强生物多样性。昆虫维持地球上的生物多样性，并在许多生态系统服务的调节和动态中发挥关键作用。保护昆虫，特别是在城市地区，可以通过保护有益的栖息地免受人类活动影响，并创建经过修改的环境来促进目标昆虫的保护，例如创建绿色屋顶空间，从而实现对昆虫的保护。在这项研究中，从垂直和水平的两个不同的植被位置，不同的采样地点评估了昆虫的丰富度，并指出了它们的光强度，太阳辐射和相对湿度。昆虫物种丰富度与所有三个非生物因素之间均无显着相关性（p> 0.05）。但是，不同的植物类型；发现开花和不开花会影响昆虫的丰富度，与未开花植物相比，开花植物的研究地点存在相对更多的昆虫（p <0.05）。这些信息可以帮助在城市地区建立可持续的综合环境。
