The study is conducted around the area of UiTM Negeri Sembilan. The beetles found within this area are collected and is kept to be preserve. In UiTM Negeri Sembilan. It found that Chrysina restlendens species has the greatest number of beetles captured. Otherwise, the least species captured are Halyomorpha halys and Heterocerus marginatus. There are three different of diversity indices uses in this study which is Shannon­ Weiner index, Richness index and Evenness index. Shannon-Weiner index shows a low diversity of l.83, Richness index shows a low richness of 2.1 and the Evenness index shows of high evenness which is 0.83.
