Insects are organisms found in a wide variety of environments and they inhabit virtually every habitat on the planet. Even in urban art, we can find representations of them, including graffiti. In this study, drawings depicting various groups of insects were inventoried throughout the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. In addition to actively searching for graffiti panels in Salvador's neighborhoods, we used the social media platform Instagram to collect this data. Among the results obtained, the following major taxonomic groups were observed: Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera, and Odonata. We can conclude that insects are well-represented, with the order Lepidoptera being the most numerically prominent. This study demonstrates the zoocultural importance that the class Insecta represents for society, culture, and art.
