Years of researching by Tibetan Plateau Ecological Research Station, Chinese Academy of Science shows that insect resources are abundant in Tibet's Namjiabarwa Peak.

Namajiabarwa Peak lies in the east of Himalayas Mountains of Tibet with 7,782 meters above the sea level.

According to the research results, about 1,985 species of insects are growing in Namajiabarwa Peak, among which Order Leipodptera (butterflies, moths and etc.), Order Homoptera (Cicadas, Leafhoppers, Aphids, Scales, etc.), Order Coleoptera (Beetles) as well as Order Hymenoptera (Bees, Ants, Wasps, and Sawflies) occupy 56.31 per cent.

Located in the lower part of the Yarlung Zangbo River, Namjiabarwa Peak area is strongly influenced by the Indian Ocean Monsoon. Therefore, from May to September, this region enters the rainy season while sees the dry season from November to next April. Specially, rain almost hits this region everyday lasting from July till September, said Lu Jie, a research fellow with Tibetan Plateau Ecological Research Station, CAS.

Tibet is one of the most typical insect regions in the world, Namjiabarwa Peak in particular. Our searchs and studys of the peculiar region aim to better protect and utilize of this region characteristics by diversity of insect, Lu added.
 
What is more, research also indicates that Medog County of Nyingchi Prefecture possesses of the richest insect resources among those four counties around Namjiabara Peak area, namely Medog, Bome, Nyingchi and Mailing County.

According to the research concerned, the Zorotypus medoensis under the first-degree state protection, a kind of notchwing in Medog River valley in the northern slope of the Himalayas, also can be found in this region.
