Abstract
The population levels of major insect pests and their associated entomophagous insects were investigates in four localities, Cairo, Alexandria, Beni-Suef and Fayoum during the period from December 1979 to November 1980. Dominance of certain species in different localities seems to vary due to the prevailing climatic conditions and the interactions between various insect species inhabiting the same habitat. The occurrence of population peaks also varied in different localities, as did the prominent species in each locality.
