398 Proceedings of the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Congress Impact of Climate Change on Insect Survival and Population Built up Many insect species have adopted the process in their life cycle tomatch with the changing seasons while some have chosen to migrate to other places. Accelerated metabolic rates at higher temperatures shorten the duration of insect diapause due to faster depletion of stored nutrient resources (Hahn and Denlinger, 2007). The impact of climate change on insect survival was displayed in Figure 2. 1. Materials and Method Literature reviews from international resources and inThailand are conducted to receive the perceptions on the aspect of global warming impact on insects’ dynamics. In Thailand the recent environmental situations and related events are reviewed particularly the natural phenomena and human activities. The drought stress occurred that affects the damage of environments in dry season is the baseline for mostly problems regarding forest fires in the country. The extended dry environment during February - May attributed to the forest fires to happen. This situation was badly increased by the human activities as the villagers set the fire to the forest to exploit advantages from the newly budding of some edible plants and mushrooms. The stress from the forest fire to the honeybees was also observed. In 2011 there were group of honeybees nest in an urban area where it has never been occurred before that a honeybees (Apis Dorsata) colonies were found in the building area at Mae Fah Luang University in Chiang Rai province (Wongsiri 2011).
