INSECTA OF THE SOUTH ISLAND: THE DOMINANT PESTS OF THE ORDER COLEOPTERA

Abstract

In the world, attention is being paid to the protection of historical and cultural objects, which reflect human civilization and culture, and consist of wooden structures, from the harmful effects of biological organisms and to preserve their integrity. In this regard, the genus Coleoptera (Linnaeus, 1758) occupies a special place among the dominant insects, and their extreme adaptability to natural and adapted environmental conditions, high reproduction intensity, and adaptability to toxic chemicals cause them to have a serious impact not only on historical and cultural sites, but also on populated areas.
