abstract = "A total number of 314 individuals representing 37 families under 9 Orders were recorded. The 72 insect pest species were identified out of a total of 82 insect pests species. Of these Lepidopteran 62% and Coleopteran 19%. The highest number of insect pest individuals recorded in the month of July (18.89%) and lowest in September (1.91 %). The highest number of insect population was recorded in Rajshahi (14.33%) and the lowest number of individuals in Maherpur (0.31%). The highest number of pest population was recorded for Sweitenia macropylla king (29.30%) and the lowest number of individuals was Aegle marmelos L. Shannon’s diversity index and simpson’s diversity index represent moderate value (H = 3.429) and moderately low value (λ = 0.091) respectively indicating moderate diversity richness for insect pests of nursery and plantation. The value of species evenness (E = 0.778) tends to be higher indicating that the species are eventually distributed.",
