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 Limbaþi 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.
