Due to their ability to harbor pollinators, predators, and insect pests, weed plants can have an impact on cultivated crops in both positive and bad ways. Insects are drawn to weeds because they provide them with a temporary home and food supply. The purpose of this study was to determine the kinds of insects that are present in sugar palm weeds, how they interact with sugar palm, and what roles weeds and insects play in palm plants. The study was conducted in the following villages: Suka Raja Village, Pedamaran Subdistrict, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, Ulak Segeulung Village, East Santapan Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, and Sangadesa Village, Musi Banyuasin Regency. It was conducted in South Sumatera, Indonesia, at the Laboratory of Plant Protection Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. For research purposes, insects on sugar palm weeds were studied. Using sweep nets and visual techniques to collect insects. Thirteen families of weeds and six orders of insects were identified in the research results for Suka Raja Village, Ogan Komering Ilir. The majority of the insects, Dinoponera gigantea, and the majority of the weeds, Piper betle. Ulak Segeulung Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, revealed five insect orders and thirteen weed families, with Sceliphron sp. insects and Rumohra adiantiformis weeds being the most common. In East Santapan Village, Ogan Ilir found seven insect orders and eleven plant families. Drosophila sp. and Vittaria sp. were the most common insects. In Sangadesa Village, seven insect orders and eleven weed families were identified. The most common insect species were Apis cerana and Vittaria sp. weeds.
