Conclusions
- Species diversity of homopterans and parasitoids was variable between sites.
- Only one site had a repeated species.
- Site with highest plant species diversity had the highest parasitoid diversity.
- This site also had the second highest number of homopteran species.
- This study suggests a positive relationship between high plant diversity and beneficial insects (parasitoids).
- For more conclusive results this research should be replicated.
