Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that have high and abundant biodiversity, one of which is aerial insects. Aerial insects are a type of insect that lives on land, has wings that are used for flight, and is widespread in several ecosystems, one of which is the peatland ecosystem. The function of aerial insects is as a parasitoid (living parasites) in other insects, as a predator (predators), as a pollinator (pollinator), and as an ecological bio-indicator. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of aeria insects as bioindicators of post-fire peatland ecology by using the Yellow Sticky Trap method. From the identification results, it was found that the aerial insects were found with a total of 41 individuals with 4 (Diptera, Hymenoptera, Heteroneura, and Lycosidae) and 7 families. The insect that dominates or is caught the most is the house fly (Musca domestica), with a value of H '= 1.131, which means that the environmental conditions in the OIC revegetation area (HPT) are in the moderate category because they exceed 1 or are stable.
