Analysis of historical data indicated that the number of immigrants caught under light trap during early August and the peak size of immigration generation observed in late rice fields were significantly related to the peak size of the fourth generation, but not to the peak size of the fifth generation in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. A simulation study revealed that the population dynamics after immigration can be affected directly or indirectly by three characteristics of immigration including total immigrants, starting time and pattern through density dependent effects and the changes in living conditions for immigrants and their descendants. In consequence, the forecasting can be improved by understanding interactions between immigration population and other enviromental factors.
