contents <p>During May-June 2024, a comprehensive survey of the invertebrate fauna on Antiparos, Tsimintiri and Despotiko (Cyclades, Greece) was conducted as part of a master's research project. This involved standardised pitfall trapping and timed surveys to sample and compare the ground invertebrate fauna across the different islands. A broad survey of the two uninhabited islets of Despotiko and Tsimintiri had yet been performed so this project aimed to fill that gap in knowledge and provide a foundation for future studies.</p> <p>The sampling event dataset includes the metadata of the sampling event (location, habitat type, georeferences, temporal coverage). The associated occurrences dataset covers a broad spectrum of invertebrates at the order level, with greater depth in taxonomy with the Tenebrionidae (darkling beetles), Carabidae (ground beetles), Formicidae (ants), Mutillidae (velvet ants) and Stylommatophora (air-breathing land snails) which were identified to species level. It has count data, taxonomic and collection information). All specimens were collected and preserved in 95% ethanol, with some Formicidae and Mutillidae specimens curated at the University of Athens.</p>
