Abstract:

Spiders and ladybugs are dominant predacious natural enemies in tea orchards. They feed on many important pests, playing important roles in pest management. Hubei Province is one of the main tea producing areas in China. Data on natural enemies in tea orchards are expected to provide scientific bases for related research. But there is a lack of research and data on natural enemy resources in the main tea producing areas in Hubei Province. In this study, spiders and lady bird beetles were surveyed and monitored on fixed sites, with high frequency during a long term, which provided systematical data on natural enemy species and population dynamics in tea orchards in East Hubei. A total of 10 coccinellid species (ladybird beetles) and spiders from 14 families were collected. A total of 373 pictures of field environment,ladybugs and spiders were captured. This dataset is the first systematic research on natural enemies in tea orchards in East Hubei. It is important in understanding the relationships between natural enemies and climate, developing image-based identification system, providing basic data on local natural enemy resources, and in guiding biological control with natural enemies.

Key words: tea, spider, ladybird beetles, natural enemy resources
