| Description | Former sand pit near Pamferova Hut in north-western part of the Sumava Mts was entomologically surveyed between the years 2006-2009. In total, more than 150 species of both terrestrial and aquatic insects were recorded (Orthoptera, Heteroptera, Coleoptera, Trichoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera). Among the terrestrial insects, predominantly forest species of medium and higher altitudes, some euryoecious species and species of warmer open stands were recorded. Only three of them are classified as threatened in the Czech Republic. Noteworthy are the records of relatively rare mountainous species. From the assemblage of the aquatic insects, euryoecious species and species preferring higher elevations and/or oligotrophic waters were recorded. Some of them are classified as threatened in the Czech Republic. The former sand pit near Pamferova Hut represents an important refuge for terrestrial and wetland insects in the Sumava Mts. |
