Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis (Motsch.) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) were sampled in China and the United States and studied microscopically for pathogens, parasites, and predators. The most prevalent natural enemies were entomopathogenic fungi and microsporidia; the ectoparasitic coleopteran, Dastarcus longulus Sharp (Coleoptera: Colydiidae) was found in China; an unidentified endoparasitic dipteran was found in Chicago; mites, nematodes, and various other potential predators were also found. The potential use of these natural enemies for ALB control in North America will be discussed.
