Vigna unguiculata subsp. Sesquipedalis (L.) Fruwirth, is a sub species of cowpea, known as "Chiclayo vegetable", it belongs to the FABACEAE family. This is cultivated to be consumed as green pods. The aim of this study was to determine the seasonal occurrence of phytophagous insects "Chiclayo vegetable" (Vigna unguiculata subsp. Sesqipedalis (L.)) Fruwirth in Iquitos, Peru. We worked in two locations: Zúngaro Cocha (not floodable area) and Inca Roca (floodable area); where two planting seasons (from June to August 2013) were made. The evaluation was performed on each phenological stage of the plant. The methodology to capture phytophagous insects was conducted in randomly selected plants in each row, making a total of 80 plants assessed per season. The captured insects were labeled and taken to the laboratory for the appropiate counting and identificaction registered in evaluation primers, developed for this study. Then we proceeded to average, elaborate charts and graphs of seasonal occurrence of phytophagous insects; noting that, in the town of Zúngaro Cocha (not floodable area) has increased capture of phytophagous insects. The common species found in the towns are Zoreva sp., Aphis craccivora, Diabrotica gestroi, Diabrotica sp., Trigona sp. and Trigona amalthea. Also among the natural enemies are registered the Cycloneda sanguinea and Ectotomma quadridens. The results obtained are of great support to horticulturists of Iquitos, because it will allow facing up the poverty in urban and suburban cities, it will improve child nutrition, enabling them to make timely decisions on pest control, which will be reflected in the production and environmental conservation.
