We demonstrated procedures to securely attach harmonic radar tags on adult Riptortus pedestris (F.) (Hemiptera: Alydidae) and verified that there were no detectable adverse effects of radar tag attachment on insect survivorship, or on walking or flight capacity. Thus, future studies should focus on individual-based tracking of R. pedestris to understand the dispersal capacity and pattern of this pest at landscape levels. These efforts will help us enhance monitoring and management tools for R. pedestris.
