Abstract：
Migratory insect
pests can cause unexpected, sudden and heavy damage to crops, making it
important to be able to accurately monitor and forecast outbreaks of these
species. This paper reviews current monitoring and early forecasting techniques
in order to promote the development of better methods. Suggestions on how to
improve the monitoring and forecasting of migratory insect pests are provided.
