Fire-related insects are species that thrive in environments affected by fire. These insects often play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to decompose organic matter and recycle nutrients. Some species, like certain types of beetles, are known to emerge in large numbers after a fire, taking advantage of the newly available resources. Additionally, fire can create habitats that are favorable for specific insects. For example, ants may build their nests in the nutrient-rich soil left behind after a fire. These insects contribute to the recovery of the ecosystem, promoting plant regrowth and supporting other wildlife.
