Specimens were collected from Ayvacik, Büyükyoncali, Küçükyoncali and Sefaalan districts of Saray in between March-November during 2015-2016. As a result of study, 17 species belonging to the family of Pentatomidae was identified. Rhaphigaster nebulosa (Poda), Nezara virudula (Linnaeus) and Dolycoris baccarum (Linnaeus) were found the most abundant phytophagous species in the investigated area. Among the identified species, Picromerus bidens (Linnaeus) and Zicrona caerulea (Linnaeus) are predator species.
