This study aims to identify the diversity of insects in two species of herbal plants, namely Javanese ginseng and citronella in an attempt to initiate herbal plants which function as refugia which will be applied to agricultural plant cultivation. This research was conducted from May to June 2020 in Dusun Curah Wungkal, Pace Village, Silo District, Jember Regency. Sampling was done by purposive sampling, namely by taking insects on herbal plants using a sweep net. Sampling was carried out 4 times with intervals of 2 weeks. Insect diversity was analyzed using the Shannon Weiner diversity index and Dominance index. The differences between the observed parameters were analyzed using non-parametric statistics using SPSS version 15.0 software. The results showed that the number of insect abundance based on the Shannon-Wiener Index (H ’) in Javanese ginseng was higher than that of citronella plants (2.124 ± 0.102> 1.163 ± 0.282). For the species dominance level (C) it is classified as a medium category and the value of Javanese ginseng is higher than that of citronella plants (0.141 ± 0.014> 0.432 ± 0.124). This condition indicates that the ecosystem of Javanese ginseng and lemongrass herbal plants, the diversity of insects, is in a fairly balanced condition.
