This study was carried out in order to determine the predator and parasitoid species that feed on soft scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccidae) species in orchards of Diyarbakır and Elazığ Provinces in Turkiye in 2017 and 2018. Visual identification and rearing methods were used. Eight predatorory species belonging to the families Coccinellidae (4) and Cybocephalidae (1) (Coleoptera), Forficulidae (2) (Dermaptera), and Chrysopidae (1) (Neuroptera), were detected. In addition, 14 parasitoid and 2 hyperparasitoid species from the families Encyrtidae (14), Aphelenidae (1) and 2 Pteromalidae (1) (Hymenoptera) were collected.
