The abundance, incidence pattern and species composition of the green leafhopper (GLH) in seedbeds, rice fields and light traps were studied in three rice growing seasons in Bangladesh during 2004 and 2005.Five species of GLH were recorded.These were Nephotettix virescens, N.nigropictu, N.malayanus, N.parvus and N.cincticeps.The first two species were most important as their presence were higher in number almost all the year round.More GLH were observed in 2005 compared to 2004 in all habitats.
