Resumo: | Syria is one of the biggest almond producer country in the world. Few arthropdes that  live on almond are consider as pests. Aphids are one of the major pests their. In  order to change the product to organic we should know more about the pests and  their natural enemies in order to use better bio- and organic decisions. A field survey  was done to aphids that attack Almond and Peach in Al-Arab mountain at As- Sweida  governorate, between 2002 and 2006. Three species of aphids were considered as  important pests on both trees. They are Brachycaudus amygdalinus and  Brachycaudus helichrysi, which are aphids that feed on the young leaves causing  stunted growth; and Pterochloroides persicae which is a species that attack the bark  and excretes large quantities of honeydew. A survey of natural enemies of B.  amygdalinus has been done in addition to study its population dynamics during the  seasons of 2002, 2003 and 2004. 30 species of natural enemies were recorded  includes 15 Coccinellidae, 4 of each Anthocoridae and Miridae, 3 of Syrphidae, one  species of each of Chrysopidae and Chamaemyiidae, and one beetle, in addition to  one parasitoid. Some Arachinids were also mentioned to prey on this aphid. Most  numerous predator at the beginning of the season was Coccinella septempunctata  followed later with Scymnus (Pullus) subvillosus and Hyppodamia variegate. Most  numerous predatory bug was Orius horvathi.
