Abstract: Anoplophora chinensis Forster is one of the most serious wood-boring pests. Behavioral manipulation is an important way to control the beetle. Aiming to develop an effective “attract and kill” strategy with plant-derived attractant against the beetle, feeding behaviors ofA. chinensis adultswere observed and the alluring effects of different kinds of extracts of Melia azedarach L. were examined. The results showed that feeding behavior ofA. chinensis existed both in the light and dark (15L∶9D), with no significant difference in feeding consumption between light and dark (P>0.05). In the light, peak feeding period of female adult A. chinensis was from 13:00 to 14:30, but there was no feeding peak of the male. In the laboratory, crude oil by Soxhlet extraction was more attractive to adult A. chinensis than that by steam distillation. Adult A. chinensis settled significantly more time on the filter paper treated with crude oil by Soxhlet extraction (15.19±2.09 min) than that treated with crude extract by steam distillation (8.94±1.26 min, P<0.05). Adult A. chinensis could be trapped by both extracts in forests. There was no significant difference between the number of beetles trapped by the two kinds of extracts (P>0.05), with 3.0±1.15 beetles being captured with the crude oil by Soxhlet extraction per trap and 2.0±0.58 adults being captured with the crude extract by steam distillation per trap.
