Abstract: The seasonal incidence of natural enemies of lac insect was carried out on Rangeeni lac during 2019-2020 at Kerajhariya Village, Pali block, Korba District of Chhattisgarh. Natural enemies of  lac viz. Eublemma amabilis and Pseudohypatopa pulverea recorded as key or major predator of lac, these was noticed a potential Predator reached peak second fortnight of April with 10.00 and 9.80 insect /30 cm lac sticks respectively, whereas Chrysopa sp. recorded as moderate predator, Tachardiaephagus tachardiae was recorded as major parasitoid these parasitoid reached peak First fortnight of April with 6.60 to 9.40 insect per 30cm of lac sticks, whereas Eupelmus tachardiae and Aprostocetus purpurenu as a minor parasitoid  of baisakhi lac crop.

Keywords: Seasonal incidence, lac insect, natural enemies
