Abstract
Urban areas experience accelerated growth, directly affecting the organisms that live there. Within these, insects are one of the most vulnerable groups. In this research, two Malaise traps were used to collect insects during the months of May 2020 to April 2021; For data collection of environmental variables, a data logger placed near the traps was used, with the aim of analyzing whether there is a correlation between the composition and diversity of insects with respect to environmental factors characterized by seasonality over time. 32 families of Hymenoptera were identified, the most abundant being Mymaridae, Pteromalidae, Formicidae, Ichneumonidae, and Figitidae. Within the study, it was determined that there is a relationship between the abundance and composition of collected insects with the temperature variables and the interaction between temperature and relative humidity, suggesting a possible seasonality. These results highlight the importance of these studies in this type of ecosystems and their potential in the future.
