Abstract:       Mirid bugs (Heteroptera: Miridae) are important insect pests of cotton, fruit trees and many other crops. Their eggs are mostly laid in the plant tissues, nymphs move quickly and like to hide under leaves and inside flowers, and adults have great flight and dispersal capacity. Based on the above characteristics, a set of techniques for population survey and damage assessment have been developed for mirid bugs in China. These techniques now provide the foundation for the monitoring and management of pestiferous mirid bugs.
