To do this, regular insect sampling was carried out using a 2×2 m quadrate during spring and summer. Afterwards, the number of each species was counted and recorded separately. The specimens sorted were identified through morphological identification keys in Insect Taxonomy Research Department of Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection (Tehran, Iran) by the fifth author. As a result, Calliptamus italicus (Linnaeus 1758) was determined as the dominant species. The yielded data can be entered in further IPM decision making for the pastures and adjacent agricultural fields in the region. Manuscript profile
