The composition of insect species during mature stage in an organic paddy field in Tanjung Karang Selangor, Malaysia was investigated. The sampling was conducted using three sampling methods namely sweep net, handpicked and stem cutting. The specimens were collected and identified up to family and some to species level. A total of 404 individuals of insects have been identified, representing 19 families, viz. Cerambycidae, Coccinellidae (Micraspis discolor), Anthomyiidae, Calliphoridae, Phoridae (Megaselia sp.), Platypezidae, Platystomatidae, Sciomyzidae, Sepsidae, Alydidae (Leptocorisa chinensis), Pentatomatidae (Scotinophara coarctata), Delphacidae (Nilaparvata lugens), Apoidae, Braconidae (Bracon hebetor, Xanthopimpla sp.), Ichneumonidae (Temeluca philippinensis), Sphecidae, Trigonalidae, Pyralidae (Chilo polychrysa), and Tettigoniidae. The DNA from four larval stages has been isolated and amplified using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). Based on BOLD and BLAST analyses, the larval stages have been identified and belong to the Chilo polychrysa species based on 98% of identical similarity
