Abstract:		"Knowledge of a species' phenology can assist with timing accurate surveys to detect presence and density in a novel environment. Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) has been found in the United States since the 1990s, but its biology and behavior remain poorly understood. This study investigated the phenology of T. campestris in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, based on local temperature data. In the summers of 2019 and 2020, 30 and 40 pheromone-baited traps, respectively, were deployed in trees in suburban parks to monitor capture of local individuals. Traps were suspended from branches of mature trees selected at random, with nine genera of trees selected over both years. Early, peak, and late adult abundance were characterized, and the impact of tree genus in which each trap was hung was evaluated. Abundance was found to be unimodal both summers with a peak around 650 degree days (base 10 degrees C) in early July. Significantly more adult T. campestris were caught in traps hung in trees of the genus Tilia than in trees of the genus Quercus. These findings are important first steps to improving monitoring of T. campestris presence and conducting risk assessments"
