The impact of sublethal concentration of five insecticides namely monocrotophos, dimethoate, methylparathion, quinalphos and endosulfan on the post‐embryonic developmental characteristics such as stadial period, body weight, fecundity and longevity of Rhynocoris kumarii was studied. All of the insecticides except endosulfan increased stadial period, decreased body weight, fecundity and longevity.
