The garden is located in the eastern part of Khabarovsk Сity. 1 090 beetles of 21 species from 10 genera were collected. The most diverse genera are Carabus and Pterostichus (4 species both). 75 % of the life forms detected were represented by zoophages while the rest 25% were represented by myxophytophages. The maximum species diversity was observed in the second decade of July. The high population of stratobionts was observed throughout the season, with the maximumobserved in late summer. The walking epigeobionts had two peaks of abundance: in late May, and at the end of July, which is more considerable.
