This article analyzes the ecological grouping of orthopteran insect species (Insecta: Orthoptera) distributed in the mountain and foothill areas of Uzbekistan. Based on the research results, it was determined that the species are classified into 21 ecological groups according to their life forms and habitats. The study revealed that among the orthopteran insects, 24 species are facultative chortobionts, 19 species are eremobionts, 11 species are graminicolous chortobionts, and 7 species are thamnobionts, representing the most frequently encountered groups. The obtained results have practical importance for the conservation of regional biodiversity and the control of agricultural pests.
