Abstract

This research aims to determine the level of insect species diversity in the cocoa plantations of Sejahtera village, Palolo subdistrict, Sigi regency. The study was conducted on November 25–26 2025, using a quantitative descriptive method. Insect sampling was carried out using pitfall traps, light traps, sweeping nets, and hand collection techniques at three observation stations: areas around settlements, areas around rivers, and highland areas. The data obtained were analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H’). The results showed that a total of 223 insects were found consisting of 17 species, 12 families, and 8 orders. Insect species found include Oberea atropunctata, Amata prepuncta, Leptosia nina, Valanga nigricornis, Ischnura hastata, Dorcus parallelipipedus, Utetheisa pulchella, Amphiareus obscuriceps, Nyctemera baulus, Xysticus sp., Leptogenys diminuta, Oecophylla smaragdina, Diceroprocta vitripennis, Melanitis phedima, Calobatina geometra, Eurema sp., and Solenopsis sp. The overall insect species diversity index value is H’ = 2.37 which is classified as moderate. The results of this study are expected to provide basic information for communities and farmers in understanding the existence and role of insects, so that they can support more effective and sustainable cocoa plantation management.

Abstract

Honey is a valuable natural product with nutritional, medicinal, and economic importance, but its high commercial value makes it prone to adulteration, which threatens consumer trust and product quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of simple purity tests in identifying adulteration in honey samples collected from several regions in Central Sulawesi Province. A total of 12 honey samples from different bee species and floral sources were analyzed using seven tests, namely solubility, cloudiness and foam, heating, hexagonal pattern, seepage, raw fish, and onion tests. The results showed that most tests successfully distinguished pure honey from adulterated samples. Specifically, the solubility, cloudiness and foam tests, as well as heating, and raw fish tests indicated that 66.67% of the samples were pure, while the hexagonal pattern, seepage, and onion tests confirmed purity in all samples (100%). These findings demonstrate that simple, low-cost methods can provide reliable initial screening of honey purity and are suitable for routine use in local communities where advanced laboratory facilities are limited. The application of these tests is expected to support honey quality assurance, protect consumer trust, and promote the sustainable development of the beekeeping industry in Central Sulawesi.

Abstract

Tropical forest ecosystems are home to diverse insect communities that play essential ecological roles, including pollination, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Among the key forest plants, rattan (Arecaceae) provides both ecological and economic benefits and serves as an important microhabitat for various insect species. This study aimed to identify and analyze the diversity of insect species associated with natural rattan habitats in Namo Village, Kulawi District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Insect sampling was carried out using sweep nets, pitfall traps, and yellow pan traps along rattan-dominated forest transects. A total of 125 individual insects were collected, representing 7 orders, 28 families, and 37 species. The order Hymenoptera showed the highest abundance (41.6%), dominated by Formicidae and Apidae families, followed by Coleoptera (25.6%) and Diptera (17.6%). The Shannon–Wiener Diversity Index (H’ = 2.84) indicated moderate species diversity with high evenness (E = 0.83). Functionally, the insect community consisted of pollinators (38.2%), herbivores (25.4%), decomposers (19.6%), and predators (16.8%). These findings demonstrate that natural rattan ecosystems support diverse and functionally balanced insect assemblages, reflecting stable ecological conditions and minimal anthropogenic disturbance. Conserving natural rattan stands is therefore crucial for maintaining biodiversity and sustaining ecological functions such as pollination and decomposition within tropical forest ecosystems.
