Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to describe the phytophagous insect fauna of strawberries in
Latvia. This study was carried out in 2000–2004 on strawberry plantations in Tukums, Rîga, Dobele,
and Limba?i districts. Insects were collected from strawberry fields by pitfall trapping, sweep
netting and leaf sampling methods. A total of 137 insect species belonging to seven orders and
41 families were identified to species. Of the phytophagous insects, the order Orthoptera was
represented by one species, other orders by a larger number of species: Hymenoptera (3), Diptera
(16), Lepidoptera (20), Thysanoptera (21), Hemiptera (39), and Coleoptera (37). Of the recorded
insects, 48 species have a status of general strawberry pests.
