Development of accurate pest monitoring systems is essential for the establishment integrated management strategies. Information about behavior during colonization process, as well sex and reproductive status colonizing population often are lacking hinder their development. The cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB, Psylliodes chrysocephala) can cause complete destruction oilseed rape crops (OSR, Brassica napus). In present study, process OSR fields by CSFB was studied.
