Loxostege sticticalis, commonly known as the meadow moth, is a significant agricultural pest in Jilin Province, which is also a serious polyphagous migrant pest. Monitoring population dynamics of the meadow moth in Jilin Province is important for forecasting outbreaks of the pest. Occurrence regularity was investigated based on pest forecast light traps in three monitoring sites including Gongzhuling, Meihekou and Taonan in Jilin Province. The results showed the occurrence early period and late date were 16 May and 16 September. The moth occurred from May to September, with a peak number from June to July. There were many captured dates of suddenly increase. The captured number for sites: Taonan>Gongzhuling>Meihekou. The captured number for months was June>July>August>May>September. Taonan had the highest capture numbers, while Meihekou had the lowest. No consistency was found in captured number, which probably was caused by overwintering, population source and migratory trajectory. These findings provide a scientific basis for effective monitoring and control for the pest in the region.
