ABSTRACT The Australian Crop Mirid (ACM), Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae), is highly polyphagous and is endemic to Australia. It is widely distributed across Australia and New Zealand and feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops. ACM has traditionally been a pest of forage crops and legumes but has recently emerged as a key pest of several high‐value crops including berries. Despite its growing significance, knowledge about its lifecycle, identification, biological control, movement and action thresholds remains limited. This review examines the biology and developmental stages of ACM. We also summarize information on the identification of ACM and provide annotated images to facilitate improved diagnostics. The impact of ACM on various agricultural crops is presented, with particular attention to damage. The review highlights priority areas for future research including studies of insect rearing, life history, action thresholds, trophic interactions and local movement patterns that are essential for developing sustainable, long‐term pest management strategies.
