  • Insects that act as pests have a detrimental impact on fig cultivation, but research in Indonesia is still very limited. Information gathering through research in the field is expected to be a consideration in controlling efforts, the initial step taken is the identification process. The study used a survey method on fig plantations in Patuk and Tanggungan sub-districts, Sidoarjo regency. The results showed that 7 ordos of insects were obtained with 15 families including Hymenoptera; Formicidae and Apidae, Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae and Tenebrionodae, Hemiptera; Pyrrhocoridae and Pentatomidae, Diptera; Muscidae, Homoptera; Aphididae, Flatidae and Cicadellidae, Orthoptera; Accrididae, Gryllidae, Gryllotalpidae and Tettigonidae, Lepidoptera; Sphingidae.

The highest Relative Abundance Index (IKR) value is Formicidae family (87.37%), the lowest is Flatidae and Aphididae family (0.09%), Diversity Index Value (H') is 1.75 (moderate) and Evenness Index Value (E') of 0.61. There are 8 families in Tanggungan plantations. The highest Relative Abundance Index (IKR) value of Formicidae family (89.74%), the lowest Pentatomidae family (0.16%), Diversity Index Value (H') of 1.17 (low) and Evenness Index Value (E') of 0.51.
