article presents an ecological classification of Orthoptera species distributed in the southern Fergana region based on their life forms. The study was conducted during 2023–2024 across 27 coordinates representing various natural and anthropogenic phytocenoses. More than 500 insect specimens were collected, with 45 species identified and processed using entomological methods. Based on F.N. Pravdin's methodology, these species were categorized into 16 ecological groups. The most numerous were the tamnobionts (7 species), followed by grass-dwelling hortobionts and fissurobionts (5 species each). The findings highlight the ecological diversity of Orthoptera fauna in southern Fergana, their trophic and morphological adaptations, and provide essential data for regional bioecological monitoring.
