Each observation was observed 20 samples with random sampling method. The results showed the populations N. tenuis is found only on the observations I 3 (wap) and observation II 5(wap) with the average population of the observations I: 0,50 individuals and observations II: 0,80 individuals. While the populations Lygus sp. found in the observations I 3 (wap) to IV 9 (wap) with the average population of the observations I: 0.65 individuals, observations II: 1.10 individuals, observations III: 1.70 individuals, and observations IV: 1.40 individuals .
