Morphological observations on the microsporidian spores from Catopsilia crocale, Catopsilia pyranthe, Diaphania pulverulentalis, Pieris rapae and Spilosoma oblique were recorded in the present paper. The spores were provisionally designated as NIK-1Cc, NIK-1Cpy, NIK-1Dp, NIK-1Pr, NIK-1So. Wherein NIK represents “National Institute Karnataka” and Cc, Cpy, Dp, Pr and So represent the first letters of the generic and species name of the insect pest from which these microsporidians were isolated. The spore shape of NIK-1Cc, NIK-1Cpy, NIK-1Dp were oval and NIK-1Pr, NIK-1So were ovo-cylindrical. However the spores of standard strain Nosema bombycis was oval in shape also. The scanning electron microphotographs of all microsporidian including N. bombycis indicated that the surface of spores was smooth in texture.
