Abstract :
Hemidactulus flaviviridis (Squamata : Gekkonidae) is an important biocontrol agent of several insect
pests. Therefore, its biocontrol potential was assessed on the basis of insect pest species predated. During the survey studies, 2014–15 H. flaviviridis was found potential predator of mosquitoes, jassids, moths, beetles and
several other insects. Termites and winged ants were also predated by H. flaviviridis at a very large extent during the
monsoon period. The order of preference for insects was Hemiptera > Diptera > Coleoptera > Lepidoptera. Predatory
insect predation like Neuroptera also been predated by H. flaviviridis.
