Field visits were carried out from March to September 2025 in various localities including Cham, Shahoor, SBBU, Siah Sheringal, Samang, and Gurlai. Specimens were collected through Sweep net, beating sheet, hand collection and identified under stereomicroscope. A total of 93 specimens were collected and identified under 7 families, 7 subfamilies, and 15 species. Among the collected specimens, Eurydema lituriferum was recorded more frequent, comprising 20 specimens. Conversely, Spilostethus hospes was represented by a single specimen. Extended surveys covering additional localities and multiple seasons are required for reliable abundance assessments. More research focus on studying the bugs nymphal stages and in different seasons/time of the year is suggested in the study area that will play a crucial role in their management. http://www.iaees.org/publications/journals/arthropods/articles/2026-15(2)/species-composition-and-richness-of-bugs.pdf Hemiptera species Pentatomidae Sheringal Upper Dir Pakistan
