<b>Background and Objective:</b> <i>Nepenthes</i> is a marsupial plant that is a modification of the leaf tip and serves to trap insects. The difference in the position of the pitcher is expected to distinguish the insects that inhabit it. One of the locations <i>Nepenthes</i> was Gunung Kunyit which is included in the Kerinci Seblat National Park Area. Insects trapped in the <i>Nepenthes</i> can be studied through taxonomic studies. The objectives of this study were to determine the diversity of insects trapped in the <i>Nepenthes</i> and to know the species of <i>Nepenthes.</i> <b>Materials and Methods:</b> The research was conducted from February to May, 2022. The study used a survey method by direct observation in the field. <b>Results:</b> The insects found in the <i>Nepenthes</i> consisted of 3 orders, 7 families and 10 species. The most insects found to be <i>Crematogaster</i> sp., (82 individuals) and the least insects <i>Sceliphron</i> sp. and <i>Dasiops</i> sp. (5 individuals). At the research site, three species of <i>Nepenthes</i>, <i>N. bongso</i>, <i>N. gymnamphora</i> and <i>N. inermis</i> at an altitude of 1,768-1,993 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.). <b>Conclusion:</b> The insect diversity index in the upper pitcher was 1.79 and for the lower pitcher position was 1.31, so it was categorized as a medium level.
猪笼草是一种具有叶尖特化的食虫植物，用于捕捉昆虫。不同位置的猪笼草预期会栖息不同的昆虫。猪笼草的一个栖息地是古宁宜山，位于 Kerinci Seblat 国家公园区域内。可通过分类学研究来研究被困在猪笼草中的昆虫。本研究的目的是确定困在猪笼草中的昆虫多样性，并了解猪笼草的种类。
本研究于 2022 年 2 月至 5 月进行，采用野外直接观察的调查方法。
在猪笼草中发现的昆虫包括 3 个目、7 个科和 10 个种。发现数量最多的昆虫是 Crematogaster sp.（82 只），最少的是 Sceliphron sp.和 Dasiops sp.（各 5 只）。在研究地点，有三种猪笼草，N. bongso、N. gymnamphora 和 N. inermis，海拔高度为 1768-1993 米。
上瓶的昆虫多样性指数为 1.79，下瓶的为 1.31，因此属于中等水平。
