The beetle is polyphagous and has a host range of more than 40 hardwood species. Infested trees can be killed. Dispersal is apparently mainly through the transport of infested wood containing larvae. The beetle does not fly readily over long distances. Dispersal of 1-2 km within a season has been estimated. The adults feed on suckers and the bark of young shoots.

Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky, 1854) - (Asian longhorn beetle)
The beetle is a serious pest of poplar and other broad-leaf trees in its native Asia. In China, economic losses have been estimated at 1.5 billion US$, or about 12% of the losses for all forest pests. It was discovered in 1996 in North America where it attacks maple and other trees. Quarantine efforts are ongoing in the US to limit the spread of the beetle. It is further a major quarantine concern in other countries. Since 2001 it is recorded from Central Europe and eradication efforts are ongoing in several countries.
The beetle is polyphagous and has a host range of more than 40 hardwood species. Infested trees can be killed. Dispersal is apparently mainly through the transport of infested wood containing larvae. The beetle does not fly readily over long distances. Dispersal of 1-2 km within a season has been estimated. The adults feed on suckers and the bark of young shoots. The young larvae infests the cambium while the older larvae attack the heartwood and once mature pupate just under the bark.
