Most of the current understanding of the orientation and communication of jewel beetles arose from research on the Asian emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, which has become one of the most destructive invasive forest insect pests in history following its introduction to North America and European Russia. From a European perspective, a number of jewel beetles have a high invasive risk similar to that of the emerald ash borer, including the potential threat of the bronze birch borer Agrilus anxius, the goldspotted oak borer Agrilus auroguttatus, and the twolined chestnut borer Agrilus bilineatus. Native jewel beetles expanding their geographic range include the cypress jewel beetle Ovalisia festiva and the black-banded oak borer Coraebus florentinus. Other native species are increasing in their importance, including the flathead oak borer Coraebus undatus, the two-spotted oak borer Agrilus biguttatus, the flatheaded beech borer Agrilus viridis and Agrilus cuprescens. Commonly used prism and multi-funnel trap designs and other promising experimental trap designs have been tested and compared in the US and in Europe. One factor considered has been colouration, typically purple and green. Another is olfactory attraction, both to plant volatiles and extracts such as (Z)-3-hexenol, Manuka oil, Phoebe oil and Cubeb oil, and also to pheromones such as (Z)-3-lactone, for emerald ash borer. Field observations have been made of mating and host-finding behaviours of oak buprestids based upon visual stimuli in North America and Europe. By using pinned dead EAB models, visual mating approaches have been observed by males of Agrilus biguttatus, Agrilus sulcicollis and Agrilus angustulus, which is a behaviour similar to that previously observed in EAB. Green plastic-covered branch-traps significantly out-performed other trap designs and caught more Agrilus jewel beetles if an artificial visual decoy that copies a beetle body was included. A higher fidelity decoy offered the same distinctive light-scattering pattern as real resting EAB females and elicited the full sequence of stereotypical male mating flight behaviour of EAB and A. biguttatus from up to 1 m away. An optimization of visual, olfactory and other possible stimuli has likely not yet been achieved. More sophisticated trap designs could lead to more sensitive detection capabilities with increased selectivity.

改善布氏甲虫的诱捕方法，以加强对本地和入侵物种的监测

目前对珠宝甲虫的方向和传播的大多数了解来自对亚洲翡翠虫（Agrilus planipennis）的研究，该植物在引入北美和美国后已成为历史上最具破坏性的森林虫害之一。欧洲的俄罗斯。从欧洲的角度来看，许多珠宝甲虫具有与翡翠灰bore相似的高入侵风险，其中包括青铜桦bore Agrilus anxius，金斑橡木bore Agrilus auroguttatus和两线栗chest钻Agrilus bilineatus的潜在威胁。。扩大其地理范围的本地甲虫包括柏树甲虫Ovalisia festiva还有黑带的橡树bore（Coraebus florentinus）。其他本地物种的重要性也在提高，包括平头oak木r Coraebus undatus，两斑oak木oak木Agrilus biguttatus，平头山bore bore Agrilus viridis和Agrilus cuprescens。常用的棱镜和多漏斗陷阱设计以及其他有希望的实验陷阱设计已在美国和欧洲进行了测试和比较。考虑的因素之一是着色，通常是紫色和绿色。另一个是嗅觉吸引，不仅对植物挥发物和提取物（如（Z）-3-己烯醇，麦卢卡油，菲比油和立方油），而且还对诸如（Z）-3-内酯，用于翡翠ash。根据北美和欧洲的视觉刺激，已经对橡树种的交配和寄主发现行为进行了实地观察。通过使用固定的死EAB模型，Agrilus biguttatus，Agrilus sulcicollis和Agrilus angustulus的雄性观察到了视觉交配方法，这与以前在EAB中观察到的行为相似。绿色塑料覆盖的分支捕集器明显优于其他捕集器设计，并捕获了更多的Agrilus珠宝甲虫（如果包括模仿甲虫身体的人工视觉诱饵）。更高保真度的诱饵提供了与真正的静息EAB雌性相同的独特光散射模式，并引发了距离不超过1 m的EAB和A. biguttatus的定型雄性交配行为的完整序列。视觉，嗅觉和其他可能刺激的优化可能尚未实现。更复杂的捕集阱设计可以提高选择性，提高检测灵敏度。
