The present experiment was conducted under the study on scope and use of light trap as IPM tool in chickpea ecosystem. Documentation of information was done on biodiversity of harmful insect fauna in chickpea ecosystem collected in light trap at Jabalpur. Standard design of Jawahar light trap with 80 W mucury vapor lamp was used to record the insect catches in chickpea crop from September 2012 to April 2013. Data was classified on taxonomic and economic aspect as crop pests. In all 51 species of insects were collected during the cropping season of chickpea. These insect species belongs to 6 insect orders and 23 families. Lepidoptera was the largest order with 30 species. Other major orders were Hemiptera (9 species), Coleoptera (4 species) and Orthoptera (6 species). Isoptera (1 species) & Diptera, (1 species)were the other orders of minor significance.
