The bagworms Metisa plana is a recurrent indigenous invasive defoliator in oil palm plantations. A moderate foliar injury can cost up to 40% and above of yield loss for years. As an effective biological control agent (BCA) or by integrated pest management (IPM) on insect pests of economic significance affecting major crops of the countries in Asia-Pacific region, the adoption of the Asian weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina might support farmers facing outbreaks. Information about the foraging activity and population dynamic (PD) of Oecophylla are important in implementing such program. Oecophylla being an obligate arboreal by nature was observed spending extended periods on the ground by occupying a vast territory under constant surveillance mode, which is significant and valuable feature for pest control. The foraging activity of major workers, their exploratory venture is closely related to systematic predation-hunting activity. The scarcity of population dynamic studies on the Oecophylla species contrast with the reports frequency of subterranean species. Estimation of population density of Oecophylla by direct nest counting method is feasible, practical and sustainable. This is contrasting with calculation done on excavated underground colonies consequential of their extinction. Simulation inaccuracy due to insufficient experimental evidence from using exclusively mathematical models is giving to real time long term field population dynamic more importance. Oecophylla colonies' stability, forager abundance and permanent patrol hunting oriented activity, are key factors for pest reduction. If the evaluation on O. smaragdina is higher, for this last decade, a significant upsurge of study on O. longinoda provided substantial novel highlights. The introduction of Oecophylla may alleviate pests management cost and offers a healthier environment by stopping the harmful usage of broad spectrum contact pesticides.
