<![CDATA[Raspberries are exotic fruits from the Rosaceae family that are in high demand among the public. Information on plant pest organisms and the diversity of arthropods associated with raspberry plants is needed to develop raspberry cultivation in Indonesia. This research aims to study the diversity of arthropods in raspberry plantations in Cisarua District, West Bandung Regency, West Java Province. The research was carried out using a survey method on land measuring 25 x 2.5 meters at an altitude of 1126 meters above sea level (masl). Sampling was carried out using yellow sticky traps, pitfall traps, knockdown methods, flying insect nets, and six direct observations. The observations yielded 1170 arthropods across 9 orders, 40 families, and 55 genera. The diversity index value is categorized as medium and tends to be high (H' = 2.99); the evenness index value is categorized as high (E = 0.75); and the dominance index value is low (C' = 0.09). Based on their ecological function, the arthropods obtained are grouped as decomposers, herbivores, natural enemies (predators and parasitoids), and pollinators. The largest group of decomposer arthropods comes from the Psychodidae family; the most herbivorous come from the Aleyrodidae family; the most natural enemies come from the Chloropidae and Araneidae families; and the most pollinators come from the Tipulidae family. The values obtained indicate the stability of the raspberry planting ecosystem, with no dominant individuals.]]>
