=== Insects ===
Insects were carefully studied on the peninsula. For example, throughout inventories 135 species of butterflies were identified, out of which 84 are endemic to Madagascar. Four butterfly species were newly discovered.
213 ant species were collected just in the western part of Masoala. Due to the current studies by other teams, that list might even be extended. Masoala might be the ant-richest site in the world!
