This record contains information on the Invertebrate Fauna Survey, from the 25 hectare study site in Robson Creek, Far North Queensland. Information on the total number of individuals of invertebrates sampled from understorey trees have been documented from 10 species of trees, with five individuals per species sampled. Tree species selection was based on the rarity in the study site, i.e. 'common' or 'rare' in the 25 ha plot.
