Insect pests show diverse behaviors and the behaviors determine the economic importance and damage aspects of the pests. For effective pest management, it is fundamental to understand behavioral ecology of the pests and incorporate the information into applications of management tactics. Among behavioral ecology, dispersal and overwintering ecologies are largely unknown for many insect pests. In this presentation, new technologies, which can facilitate tracking of insect movement in field conditions, will be addressed with a case study of Riptortus pedestris (Hemiptera: Alydidae). Also, recent findings about overwintering ecology of R. pedestris will be covered. Finally, implications of these results for pest management will be discussed.
