Abstract: Soil is one of the interfaces through which essential ecological processes take place. Therefore, this study was narrowed to determine the seasonal arthropod taxonomic composition in soils from some locations in Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria between January and December 2015. Samples were collected from four selected dumpsites in the following locations: Wulari, Abaganaram, Bulunmkutu and Bolori using a stratified random sampling design. Arthropods were extracted from the soil and identified using standard identification keys. A total of 748 arthropods were extracted and identified.
