Abstract

Important pest fauna of various plants of Ahwaz's green landscape was studied during 2009-2012. Samplings were performed from different parts of the plants, e.g., leaf and flower, branch and trunk and roots. Totally, 18 species from different orders of arthropods were identified as important pests. Chrysobothris affinis Mén and Papilio sp. were collected for first time on their new host plant.
