Larvae of Lepidopterous on the four species of Shorea (Dipterocarpaceae) insects were collected from nursery in Bogar, Indonesia. They were reared in the laboratory and identified to species level by adult stage. Amongst ca. 300 collected individuals, 127 adults were emerged, which included 27 speces in 11 families. The most abundant species was Olene inc/usa Walker (Lymantriidae) followed by Orgyia postica Walker (Lymantriidae). The family Lymantriidae was the most prosperous group on the Shorea juveniles in the nursery. Shorea leprosula and S. selanica raised many individuals and many species of Lepidoptera. However, S. javanica and S. pinango did not. An unidentified species of the family Lycaenidae was specific to S. javanica. The Noctuid moth, Ischyja manilia, was also biased to S. javanica.
