List of vulnerable insects

In July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 608 vulnerable insect species.

Additionally 1702 insect species (28% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient, meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status.

As these species typically have small distributions and/or populations, they are intrinsically likely to be threatened, according to the IUCN.

[2] While the category of data deficient indicates that no assessment of extinction risk has been made for the taxa, the IUCN notes that it may be appropriate to give them "the same degree of attention as threatened taxa, at least until their status can be assessed".
