“…This study was undertaken to measure the maximum weight of an electronic tag that could be carried by adult Colorado potato beetles in flight as part of an on-going project on the development of a harmonic radar tracking system (Colpitts et al, 1999) suitable for this major pest of the potato crop in many areas of the world. The flight of the Colorado potato beetle [CPB, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)] adults is responsible for the colonization of rotated potato fields in the spring, oviposition, mating, and foraging movements in the summer, and for their migration from a wide geographical area in late summer to overwintering sites.…”

The wing loading of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), was found to decrease slightly with increasing size over a wide range of individual sizes and independent of sex. This makes it possible to use tags of the same weight for beetles of all sizes and suggests that if the addition of light electronic tags has any effect on the beetle's flight it will be similar across beetle size. The wing loading of individual potato beetles ranged from an average minimum 10.9 N m −2 to an average maximum of 15.6 N m −2 as their weights fluctuated over time following water and food uptake or dispersal. However, tests carried out in flight chambers indicate that beetles become incapable of upward flight as they go beyond an average wing loading of 11.8 N m −2 , that is 101 µN (10.3 mg) beyond their minimum weight. It is estimated from our results that electronic tags should weigh no more than 23-33% of the potato beetle's acceptable extra loading for the technique to have no or minimal impact on the number and quality of upward flights taken.

The recent introduction of the concept of refuge areas for the management of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae), on resistant potato highlighted the existence of important gaps in our knowledge and understanding of this pest's movement within and between habitats. The objective of this review is to synthesize the information available for the benefit of crop managers and to identify subject areas in need of additional research. A traditional, somewhat encyclopedic, review of the old and recent literature on research methods, basics of flight and walking, as well as abiotic and biotic conditions for dispersal, revealed a considerable volume of information accumulated since the early 1900s. There is a consensus on the role of abiotic factors on flight and walking, but a better understanding of the biotic factors will be required before the variability of the dispersal response can be fully explained or predicted. Cybernetic models of orientation proposed in the literature were pulled together into a schematic representation of the orientation process in walking L. decemlineata. The model begins the integration of the different conditions and underlying suggested mechanisms responsible for the orientation of the walking beetle. There is remarkably little information on the orientation of potato beetles during flight. Finally, the seasonality of walking and flight dispersal is reviewed in relation to the host habitat and overwintering sites.

“…Therefore, the application of image processing, such as forest plant analysis (forest plant) and insect based on the different color space with RGB color image histogram equalization. [5], to detect insects in rice, that correlated linearly with Isotropic Masks sized 7x7 [6], recognize storedgrain insects by analyzing texture of the insects with Hidden Markov model (HMM), which develope from K-mean method and the study of Insect behavioral studies; parasitoid species, especially insects especially the larva which is elastomeric in nature, which are used for biological control programs. Therefore, the estimated number of insects to be able to calculate and predict the spread of insects for warning farmers to prevent and eliminate pests.…”

Rice is one of the most essential economic crops in Thailand and contributes to high ratio of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of country. Generally the farmers grow rice as a single plant and repeat annually for long time. The repetition of growing rice many times per year is considered to be the productive way of getting higher income as more production signifying more quantities of rice. This pattern intensifies outbreaks and cause long life cycle of the brown planthopper while it further brings damage to agricultural sector. An automatic measurement system for identifying the population of brown planthopper is employed to detect and count the number of brown planthopper. This system uses 'Image Processing Technique' to monitor and perform surveillance a brown planthopper and eliminate them before the violence outbreak. This method is very useful for the farmers and agricultural sector. The results of the experiment, the population of brown planthopper which has been detected in this research, based on the assumption indicated the detection of brown planthopper at average of 69.76 % of all insects.
