Aphis gossypii showed the highest population 13,095 individuals, while the family Tachinidae single record two individuals during sampling. Pseudococcus citri was found in the stem, branches, leaves, flowers and fruit, appearing with greater intensity in the fruit with 1,104 individuals. The family Geometridae species Monalonion dissimulatum showed a correlation coefficient of 0.80, which implies that there is a strong relationship between the two populations of these species. The highest rates of species diversity were made during the 3-4-9 surveys and 10 conducted during the months of June and September 2015. Values are not abundant in diversity and that according to established media are considered low because do not exceed the maximum range (3).
