Chlorophorus strobilicola Champ., is an important insect belonging to order Coleoptera, family Cerambycidae and group Clytini. The pest has four generations annually. The 4th generation is over wintered. Larval stage is the most destructive stage. The larva while developing, feeds on the central axis and also bores through the seeds. Thus, posing danger to natural regeneration, seed quantity and quality. As the larval and pupal developments occur inside the cone, it is less exposed to natural enemies. Only two natural enemies (1 larval parasitoid and 1 predator) were recorded.
