Abstract: The study was conducted in Eğil and Hani provinces of Diyarbakır in 2021. Cimbex quadrimaculata Müller, 1766 (Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae), which causes significant damage to almond trees, was observed in nature, and the phenology of the flowers of the pomegranate trees around was examined and the pest biology and the phenology of the pomegranate flower were compared. As a result of the study; while the pomegranate flower is in bud form, the 1st larval stage, when the pomegranate flower is in mid-blooming state, the 3rd larval stage, and when the pomegranate flower is fully bloomed, the 5th larval stage were observed. This study has the characteristics of being the first study which reveals the relationship between pomegranate flower phenology and C. quadrimaculata’s larval stages.The results of the study are important in terms of the biological period of the pest with the time and selection of the pesticide to be discarded, by using it in predictive early warning studies of the pest.
