The invention relates to the field of pest control and particularly relates to an automatic monitoring device for locusta migratoria manilensis nymphs and a monitoring method thereof. The device comprises a luring module, a trapping module and a processing module, wherein the luring module is used for luring the locusta migratoria manilensis nymphs; the trapping module is used for collecting the locusta migratoria manilensis nymphs; and the processing module is connected with the luring module and comprises a sensor unit, a counting unit and a transmission unit, wherein the sensor unit is used for sensing the locusta migratoria manilensis nymphs, the counting unit is used for counting the quantity of the locusta migratoria manilensis nymphs, and the transmission unit is used for transmitting data to a data management center. According to the automatic monitoring device provided by the invention, the population quantity of the locusta migratoria manilensis nymphs can be automatically monitored; by adopting a photoelectric technology, computer technology and remote transmission technology combined design, the locust nymphs entering traps can be automatically counted, and data are transmitted to the data management center, so that the function of automatically monitoring the population dynamics of locusta migratoria manilensis is achieved; and the device has the characteristics of high efficiency, high sensitivity and high specificity.
