The poll has been launched to find the UK's favourite insect by the Royal Society of Biology.
The society wants to emphasise the "vital" environmental role played by the more than 20,000 species found in the UK.
It also wants to highlight the threats the insects face from pesticide use, habitat destruction and climate change, 'BBC News' reported.
Experts at the Royal Society of Biology have shortlisted 10 insects which include the small tortoiseshell butterfly, the emperor dragonfly and the stag beetle.
