Abstract
This study aims to determine the diversity of insects in oil palm plantations in the Marbau, North Labuhanbatu and its relative abundance. This research was conducted in 2 different lands, Immature Plantation Land (IPL) and Mature Plantation Land (MPL) with each land area of ± 2 Ha with 3 observation stations diagonally. Sampling was carried out using the Pitfall Trap method for diurnal animals (active during the day), Light Trap (light traps) for nocturnal animals (active at night), and Sweep Net (net traps) for animals that were actively flying. The results of the research on IPL land were grouped into 8 orders, namely Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Hymenoptera, Homoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Isoptera. The order Hymenoptera (Formicidae) was the most common species with 393 individuals with the highest relative abundance of 76.2%. The results of research on MPL land were grouped into 6 orders, namely Coleoptera, Himeptera, Orthoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and Odonata. order Hymenoptera (Formicidae) also has the most species, namely 471 individuals with the highest relative abundance of 102.2%.
