The purpose of the study was to determine the species of visitor insects of the flowers of Impatiens balsamina. Direct collection method by using insect net was used in this study. Insects were identified at Laboratory of Animal Taxonomy, Biology Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Andalas University, Padang. The results showed that 16 species of insects that belong to 16 genera, 9 families and 3 orders were recorded. The visitor insects were dominated by Hymenoptera order (68.75%) followed by Lepidoptera (18.75%) and Diptera (12.50%).
