It is found that in agrocenosis of an apple orchard entomophages and acariphages are the class of Arachnids (5,3%) and class of Insects (94,7%). 38 species of beneficial arthropods are found that by systematic division belong to varieties: Hymenoptera (52,6%); Coleoptera (15,8%); Diptera (10,5%), Hemiptera (7,9%); Neuroptera (5,3%); Aсаrina (5,3%) and Mecoptera (2,6%). Saving useful entomophage and acariphage fauna which is based on the determination of species composition, adjustment, population dynamics, trophic links and peculiarities of biology is the basis for environmentally-safe protection systems of an orchard.
