The Asian longhorned beetle, , is a forestry pest found worldwide. causes serious harm because of the lack of natural enemies in the invaded areas. and are important natural enemies of . MaxEnt was used to simulate the distribution of and in China, and their suitable areas were superimposed to pinpoint which regions are potentially appropriate to release or establish natural enemy populations under current and future conditions. The results showed that, with climate change, the suitable areas of and migrated northward; the centroid shift of was greater than those of and . From current conditions to 2090, the suitable area of , and will increase by 1.44 × 10, 20.10 × 10, and 31.64 × 10 km, respectively. Northern China (e.g., Xinjiang, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia), where causes more serious damage, is also a potentially suitable area for and , and this provides a potential strategy for the management of . Therefore, we suggest that natural enemies should be included in the model used for predicting suitable areas for invasive pests.

Plants and invertebrates use chemical signals and cues to construct information about their environment. It is well reviewed that chemical signals play key roles in interactions between conspecific insects, such as sex pheromones for finding mates, and that plants transmit chemical signals to recruit natural enemies that kill herbivores. However, it is also known that chemicals emitted by natural enemies can influence insect herbivore physiology and behavior.

The plant defense against insects is multiple layers of interactions. They defend through direct defense and indirect defense. Direct defenses include both physical and chemical barriers that hinder insect growth, development, and reproduction.

Biochemical and molecular mechanisms have been essential mechanisms to reduce various insect attacks on plants. The biochemical methods are wide involving direct and indirect defenses. The defensive chemical substances are secreted effectively to the wound caused by the herbivores (insects and phytopathogens) on plants.

The highly developed sensitive olfactory system is essential for Scott (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) adults, an widely distributed natural predatory enemy, to locate host plants. During this process, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to have significant involvement in the olfactory recognition. However, the roles of OBPs in the olfactory perception of are not frequently reported.
