Weekly field trips to collect insects were conducted in northern Jordan from
March to August 2001, in order to establish an insect museum at Al Albayt
University in Al Mafraq City, north Jordan. Thousands of specimens were
collected, pinned and preserved at Ibn Al Beetar Museum. A total of 83 species
were identified. Lepidoptera included 43 species of butterflies and moths,
Orthoptera 14 species of grasshoppers, Hemiptera 10 species of bugs, Coleoptera
8 species of beetles, Odonata 6 species of dragonflies and damselflies, and
Neuroptera 2 species of antlions. However, many species belonging to several
orders were not identified. The collected species were beneficial and harmful
