<![CDATA[Arthropod daily visits were seen from how often the Arthropod family visited the refugia plants of Zinnia elegans and Ruellia tuberosa species which were determined based on the Arthropod average per hour observed. This study aims to (1) find out what arthropods are found in Zinnia elegans and Ruellia tuberosa in Megaluh District, (2) find out the frequency of daily visits of arthropods to Zinnia elegans and Ruellia tuberosa plants in Megaluh District. This research is an exploratory descriptive study with a quantitative approach. This research was conducted in February 2021. Determination of the sampling point (sampling) was determined using the purposive sampling technique. The technique of collecting data is by collecting data using the visual control method at a distance of 2 meters at 06.00-07-00, 11.00-12.00, and 16.00-17.00.

In Zinnia elegans and Ruellia tuberosa based on t-test, the significance level (2-tailed) was significant in the Pentatomidae family with a significance value of 0.003.]]>
