Abstract: Three types of compound spatial distribution patterns of insect population were proposed in this paper:simple transformation, first type and second type compound spatial patterns.Three kind of analysis methods,index of dispersion, spatial autocorrelation and variation of distribution parameters, were used to describe the type of spatial pattern, the range of aggregation, and the spatial distribution, respectively.The spatial pattern of pine caterpillar was used as an application example,and the result indicated that using the above method much more information about spatial patterns conld be obtained than using the classical spatial pattern index method.
