The surface of the earth is indeed as residence of all various of living things where 50.8 of all living things occupying the earth are insects with the largest insect percentage being of 72% (Daly et al., 1978). Insects, as the largest percentage of organisms of all li-ving things inhabiting the earth, are very varied organisms and also as the occupants of earth surface with a percentage of 80% of their own phylum (Sunjaya, 1994; Christian & Gotisberger, 2000). Insects as a plants green-eating invetebrate organisms and also as one of the most widespred organisms that can be found in a variety of habitats (Borror, Triphelorn & Johnson, 1992), do not live in vaccum state and space in an ecosystem but basically live in interacting with other organisms and coexist in a contemporary way (Pianka, 1978). Insects as one of green plants-eating invertebrates are categorized as beneficial insects species including predator, pollinators, parasitoids and detrimental insects species (Christian & Gotisberger, 2000) in term of categorical aspect of status coexisting in a contemporary way.
