**7. Conclusion**

Globalisation has enriched us beyond belief, but it too comes with a consequence. Increased connectivity due to globalisation has resulted in the introduction of numerous invasive insect pests to India which not only have devastated several agricultural crops but also have caused huge monetary loss. This situation further got worse with the advent of global warming and climate change which favoured the establishment and spread of the invasive species. Hence, management of the invasive insects is a challenge. Minimising the loss caused by invasive insects requires an "international management approach" with strict legislation laws and better cooperation among countries with respect to exchange of information regarding the invasive species and their natural enemies. Moreover, there should be a hierarchical setup recruiting expertise personnel having sound knowledge on insect identification, preliminary risk assessment and monitoring of insects and their eradication. Besides, several public awareness campaigns can be conducted to educate the common people which will definitely reduce the chances of an accidental invasion.
