Re: What is the niche or habitat of an Asian Long horned beetle?

The original habitat of the Asian Long horned beetle is hardwood forest in 
China, however they have arrived in untreated wood from China.  Their new 
hosts in the Americas are hardwoods like:
Maples (Norway, sugar,red, silver Manitoba,and sycamore)
horsechestnut
elms
poplars
willows
ashes
cherry and various fruit trees
 
Adults eat the leaves and bark and young shoots of trees. Females deposit 
eggs one at a time into the bark.  Older larvae go deeper into the tree and 
chew channel through out killing the host tree.
